Critical Materials at the Crossroads: Innovation, Resiliency, Sustainability Driving the Roadmap for Semiconductor Materials
The flagship CMC Conference is a two-day event delivering practical, actionable insights on semiconductor materials and supply chains. Unlike typical conferences, this event focuses on "How-to" solutions rather than just "What" information, featuring real-world case studies from industry practitioners addressing process challenges and materials-related issues.
Key Highlights:
- Five Core Sessions: Global trends, manufacturing challenges, advanced packaging, equipment materials, and emerging R&D materials
- Networking Events: Welcome reception and Not-So-Usual Roundtable (NSURT) beer tasting
- Registration: Early Bird $949 (ends Feb 20, 2026) | Regular $1,149
- Location: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Portland, Oregon
