The Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference – short ASMC – will take place at a new venue this year. After many years in Saratoga Springs, NY this years conference will take place in Albany, NY.
Conference registration is open now and the reduced early bid fee is available only until 04/01/2024 !

I’m looking very much forward to this event for 2 reasons:
- Spring in Upstate NY is a beautiful season to meet and gather with industry peers from all over the world – if you come a few days early you have a chance to visit the Albany Tulip Festival
- listening to the latest news and trends in the semiconductor manufacturing world
The Conference Committee has put together a great line up of keynotes, technical sessions, panels and a poster reception. Here are a few of my personal highlights:
- Keynote from Vijay Narayanan (IBM fellow) about innovation in semiconductor in the AI area
- Keynote from Missy Stigal (VP Operations at Wolfspeed) about SiC
- Keynote from Robert Maire (President Semiconductor Advisors) – always a “must see & hear” about the latest developments in the industry
- Panel Discussion—Talent Pipeline: Building a Sustainable and Diverse Semiconductor Workforce
- Session 8: Smart Manufacturing + Industrial Engineering 1 – LINK
- Session 16: Smart Manufacturing + Industrial Engineering 2 – LINK
- Session 18: Factory Automation – LINK
Looking through old notes I realized ASMC 2024 will be my 20th ASMC – unbelievable how fast time flies!
ASMC 2004 took place in Boston, MA and I was a young and nervous engineer presenting my 1st paper – what a journey over the last 20 years !
If you are curious what my paper was about in 2004:
But now lets look forward to ASMC 2024 – I hope I have the chance to meet many of you in person in Albany, NY in May !
