Learning about the Next Best Thing

Learning about the "next best thing" is easy for many topics -- networking in the hallway at work, doing a web search, chatting with friends, or Facebooking your request. If you want to attend a conference, it seems that there is a conference for absolutely everything. But where do industry technologists go to network, learn and share knowledge on new and best-method semiconductor manufacturing practices and concepts?

The 25th annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC) is coming up soon on May 19-21 in New York. It features 37 hours of technical presentations and 90+ speakers covering all aspects of advanced semiconductor manufacturing. (more)

In addition to expositions (including SEMICONs) and executive and technical conferences, SEMI creates events and regional networking opportunities in numerous locations across the United States. (more)
