U.S. National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing: Virtual Town Hall for Semiconductor Manufacturing Inputs
Join us for a town hall event designed for semiconductor experts to help shape the future of federal research and development in advanced manufacturing. Participants will share insights to help define the priorities for the 2026–2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.
The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security. This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to share their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has posted the complete set of questions in the Federal RegisterHERE.
The National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing will manage the RFI process, and the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing will collect and analyze the information.
Register and tune in on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 11am PT / 2pm ET!

The semiconductor industry stands at a generational inflection point with national economic and security priorities converging to define the role of semiconductors for the future. Engaging with lawmakers and policymakers in Washington, DC on trade policy, tariffs, and export controls is of critical importance for the semiconductor and microelectronics industry. If companies do not engage, policy decisions move forward without industry input, which can create missed opportunities and unnecessary risk.
Join us for this expert panel to hear practical guidance and learn how you can ensure your voice is heard by key decision makers.
Navigating the federal policy landscape can seem daunting. Join SEMI Public Policy & Advocacy for an introduction to advocacy with leading firms K&L Gates, Holland & Knight, and Arnold & Porter as featured presenters. These top DC firms will share a concise advocacy and government affairs “101” on trade, tariff, and export control issues as well as an overview of their services and expertise in Washington, DC.

Drive Tomorrow’s Critical Policy: Help Shape Key Federal Policy and the Future of the Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry stands at a generational inflection point with national economic and security priorities converging to define the role of semiconductors for the future. While the semiconductor and microelectronics industry is powering the future from AI to next-gen computing, federal policies on trade, tax, workforce and more are also poised to reshape the industry landscape.
The annual SEMI Washington Fly-In is a critical opportunity for SEMI members to advocate for the industry’s top priorities, share real-world insights on how federal policy impacts the industry and highlight the overwhelming contributions SEMI members make to the U.S. economy and national security.
The SEMI North American Advisory Board encourages the full SEMI membership to weigh-in with policymakers and share the industry’s most compelling strategies, opportunities, and challenges ahead. As Washington lawmakers assess the political landscape and develop priorities, the annual fly-in is an opportunity for SEMI members to shape policy on key issues from trade, tax and export controls to talent shortages and supply chain constraints.
Join us as we champion the semiconductor industry in Washington, DC.

Join SEMI and the Environment Risk & Mitigation Reporting Working Group to learn how the semiconductor industry and supply chain is assessing Water Risk, and what steps can be taken to mitigate exposure.
In a collaboration with WaterPlan®, the working group surveyed more than 140 production site and 89 unique water basins to arrive at a water risk assessment for flooding, reputational risk, water quality risk, infrastructure risk and water scarcity risk.The survey found that over 80% of wafer fabrication and 88% of chemical and materials sites face medium-high to high flood risk.
During the webinar experts will provide key insights on key drivers and what is required by risk management teams – both internal and external – for reports and disclosures for:
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
Disclosure Insight Action (CDP)
Task force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
The International Sustainability Standards Boards (ISSB)
Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB)

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)
Who attends WiS? Company leaders, managers, team members, HR professionals, academia and students. We encourage attendance by everyone who is interested in building a stronger, more dynamic semiconductor ecosystem, and by anyone who is responsible for developing internal or external programs to support women.
