Powering Tomorrow’s Technology
Semiconductors US examines the technologies, policies, and engineering strategies shaping the next era of American chip design and manufacturing. With the US racing to strengthen domestic capability and secure its position in the global microelectronics landscape, bringing together the leaders driving that shift - from policymakers and manufacturers to researchers, architects, and supply chain decision-makers.
Across two days, we explore the innovations, pressures, and opportunities that will define the future of US semiconductors, from advanced architectures and secure hardware design to smart manufacturing, resilient supply chains, and the workforce powering it all.
Why Attend Semiconductors US?
Whether you’re designing next-generation architectures, navigating the realities of onshoring, or building secure and scalable manufacturing processes, Semiconductors US gives you direct access to the perspectives shaping U.S. semiconductor competitiveness.
Hear how the CHIPS Act is evolving, where international collaboration is strengthening or shifting, and what geopolitical pressures mean for sourcing, partnerships, and long-term strategy. Learn how AI, digital twins, and advanced analytics are reshaping fabrication and workflow optimisation. Explore chiplet-based architectures, 3D integration, and advanced packaging approaches that unlock new system-level performance gains.
You’ll walk away with a sharper understanding of the technologies, policies, and workforce initiatives that will define U.S. semiconductor leadership in the decade ahead.
