Arizona is quickly becoming one of the nation’s top hubs for semiconductor innovation—and women are at the center of this transformation. Women in Semiconductors: Empowerment in Action celebrates the achievements, leadership, and impact of women across the semiconductor and technology industries while equipping attendees with actionable insights to drive growth, opportunity, and progress in the workplace and beyond.
This half-day program celebrates and empowers women in STEM while highlighting Arizona’s leadership in the nation’s expanding semiconductor sector. Empowerment in Action: To the Workplace & Beyond brings together industry professionals, educators, and students for an afternoon of storytelling, insight, and collaboration.
Through panels, speaker sessions, and interactive discussions, attendees will hear firsthand from women leading the way in science and technology—sharing how they’ve built their careers, navigated challenges, and contributed to Arizona’s growing technology landscape.
The day concludes with the STEMinist Mix N Mingle—a relaxed networking session featuring mocktails, small bites, and engaging activities designed to spark mentorship and build community connections.

- Attending the Women in Semiconductor Conference was an incredibly empowering experience. There is something uniquely impactful about coming together with other women who understand the challenges and opportunities of our industry. The conference created space for honest conversations, meaningful networking, and a sense of community. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that together, we can drive change and support one another in powerful ways. (WiS 2025 attendee)
