For more than 12 years, The ConFab, an invitation-only executive conference has been the destination for key industry influencers and decision-makers to connect and collaborate on critical issues.
"The semiconductor industry is maturing, yet opportunities abound," said Pete Singer, Editor-in-Chief of Solid State Technology and Conference Chair of The ConFab. "The Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding, which will result in a demand for "things" such as sensors and actuators, as well as cloud computing. 5G is also coming and will be the key technology for access to the cloud."
The ConFab is the best place to seek a deeper understanding on these and other important issues, offering a unique blend of market insights, technology forecasts and strategic assessments of the challenges and opportunities facing semiconductor manufacturers. "In changing times, it's critical for people to get together in a relaxed setting, learn what's new, connect with old friends, make new acquaintances and find new business opportunities," Singer added.
Solid State Technology is also pleased to announce the addition of David J. Mount to The ConFab team as marketing and business development manager. Mount has a rich history in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment business and will be instrumental in guiding continued growth, and expanding into new high growth areas.
Mainstream semiconductor technology will remain the central focus of The ConFab, and the conference will be expanded with additional speakers, panelists, and VIP attendees that will participate from other fast growing and emerging areas. These include biomedical, automotive, IoT, MEMS, LEDs, displays, thin film batteries, photonics and advanced packaging. From both the device maker and the equipment supplier perspective, The ConFab 2017 is a must-attend networking conference for business leaders.
The ConFab conference program is guided by a stellar Advisory Board, with high level representatives from GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Texas Instruments, TSMC, Cisco, Samsung, Intel, Lam Research, KLA-Tencor, ASE, NVIDIA, the Fab Owners Association and elsewhere.
