How to Thrive and Accelerate Your Growth in the Semiconductor Industry 

As we celebrate 10 years of Women in Semiconductor, this milestone event invites you to reflect on the progress made while boldly charting your path forward. In an industry where women remain underrepresented, success requires both strategic navigation and authentic leadership.

Through dynamic sessions, we will explore how to intentionally shape a career defined by influence and impact—on your own terms. Together, we’ll examine the realities of navigating a male-dominated industry and share practical strategies to build influence, expand opportunities, and lead with confidence.

At the core of this experience is the development of your personal leadership toolbox—a curated set of skills, relationships, insights, and decision-making frameworks designed to accelerate your growth. You’ll learn how to cultivate meaningful allyship, strengthen the competencies that set you apart, and proactively create opportunities rather than waiting for them.

Join us for this special anniversary as we celebrate a decade of progress and issue a call to action for the future. You’ll leave with practical resources, empowering insights, and a renewed sense of purpose—equipped to thrive authentically and shape the future of the semiconductor industry with confidence and clarity.

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. 

"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)

Please stay tuned for additional programs in 2026. We look forward to your participation. 

To receive information about Women in Semiconductors events, make sure to complete our interest form.  

Everyone is welcome to attend! If you have questions about any WiS activities, sponsorship and/or other SEMI Foundation initiatives, please email [email protected].  Or complete our interest form. We invite you to sign the Allyship Pledge.

Test Vision Symposium at SEMICON West 2026

The Test Vision Symposium at SEMICON West brings together semiconductor test experts and industry visionaries to explore and shape the future of testing. This year’s theme, “Tomorrow’s Test Vision” highlights the collaborative and innovative spirit driving the next wave of advancements in semiconductor testing.

As advancements in AI, advanced packaging, silicon photonics, and high-performance computing accelerate, test strategies must evolve in parallel. Increasing device complexity makes testing essential for reducing time to market, ensuring reliability, controlling costs, optimizing performance, and enabling scalable manufacturing across applications from autonomous vehicles, renewable energy to AI‑powered systems and next-generation consumer electronics.

Test Vision 2026 provides a forum for open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and forward‑looking perspectives on semiconductor testing. This year’s symposium brings the “vision” back into Test Vision—fostering collaboration, partnership, and innovation to enable the next phase of real‑time evolution in test technologies.

We invite abstracts that explore innovative test methodologies, data‑driven approaches, and solutions addressing challenges such as AI enablement, thermal management, and heterogeneous integration. 

The symposium features keynote speakers, panel sessions, poster sessions, and a host of papers focused on industry trends, challenges, and solutions facing the test community. The symposium is co-located at SEMICON West and is held as an in-person event.

If you have questions, please contact the program manager and registration chair - Basak Ulutas Ozturkler from SEMI.

Multi‑Trillion by Design: Semiconductors as the World’s New Critical Infrastructure

The global semiconductor industry is entering a defining era; one in which chips are no longer simply components inside devices, but the foundation of the world’s digital economy, AI infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, mobility, communications, energy systems, healthcare innovation, and national security. 

As industry revenues accelerate toward multi-trillion-dollar scale, the next phase of growth will not happen by chance. It must be designed through strategic investment, resilient supply chains, trusted global partnerships, and coordinated innovation across the full electronics ecosystem.

Anchored by the 2026 theme, Multi-Trillion by Design: Semiconductors as the World’s New Critical Infrastructure, ITPC will convene senior executives and decision-makers from across the semiconductor design and manufacturing supply chain to examine how the industry can shape this future with intention—balancing rapid AI-driven demand, geopolitical complexity, sustainability pressures, workforce needs, and the technology breakthroughs required to power the next decade of global progress.

ITPC History

The SEMI International Trade Partners Conference—ITPC has championed industry coordination for over four decades. The event was originally designed to support collaboration and productive trans-pacific relationship amidst severe trade tensions that threatened supply chain prosperity in the 1980s. Having successfully contributed to a spirit of cooperation and mutual business interest, the event continues to promote alignment in the era of globalization. It has developed into a premier executive thought-leadership and relationship-building event to support global industry executive-level engagement.

Beyond the $1T Milestone: Building the Next Chapter of Semiconductor Growth

The semiconductor industry stands at a defining moment, having achieved the historic milestone of becoming a trillion-dollar industry. The next era of growth will be defined not by scale alone, but by the ability to anticipate new demand, accelerate innovation, and build a resilient global ecosystem capable of supporting the technologies that will transform every sector of the economy.

ISS 2027 convenes the industry's foremost leaders to examine the economic, geopolitical, technological, and market forces shaping the future. Discussions will explore the evolution of semiconductor demand, advances in AI, memory, advanced packaging, and quantum technologies, the emergence of new growth markets, and the manufacturing capacity, supply chain resilience, and ecosystem partnerships required to sustain long-term expansion.

Beyond the $1T Milestone is a call to look ahead—to understand not only the technologies that will define the future, but also the strategies, partnerships, and investments needed to build a stronger, more resilient semiconductor ecosystem. Together, these elements will enable the industry to move beyond its first trillion-dollar milestone and shape the next chapter of semiconductor growth and innovation.
