DATES: The CHIPS R&D Standards Summit will take place on Tuesday,
September 26, 2023, and Wednesday, 27, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. Eastern Time each day. The summit will require prior registration
and is open to the public. Registration for both virtual and in-person
will close on Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
ADDRESSES: The CHIPS R&D Standards Summit will be held in person and
virtually via web conference from the Capitol Hilton located at 1001
16th St. NW, Washington, DC 20036. Registration is required to
participate either in person or virtually, and members of the public
should register in accordance with the information provided in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For more information about the CHIPS
R&D Standards Summit, please contact Chris Greer by telephone at (301)
975-5919 or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8be8e3f9e2f8ffe4fbe3eef9a5ecf9eeeef9cbe5e2f8ffa5ece4fd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="aac9c2d8c3d9dec5dac2cfd884cdd8cfcfd8eac4c3d9de84cdc5dc">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CHIPS R&D Standards Summit will bring
together thought leaders within the semiconductor industry and academia
to shape the future of semiconductor and microelectronics standards and
drive innovation. The summit will offer sessions that facilitate
consensus building on the top priority areas within the industry, ways
to accelerate strategic efforts across these priority areas, and cover
concepts from incubators and accelerators as practiced in the
technology sector that might be adapted for use in standards
development and enabling a diverse, standards-capable workforce. The
summit's first day will consist of plenary and panel sessions with
exemplary keynote and guest speakers in the semiconductor and
microelectronics standards space. The following day will consist of
breakout sessions where attendees will collaborate and discuss key
topics that will help shape future semiconductor and microelectronics
standards activities.
Participants will explore ways to improve the agility and
efficiency of the standards process, ensuring its continued growth in
the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry. The scope of the summit
includes the full range of standards types--including best practices,
de facto, and formal standards--while spanning the semiconductor and
microelectronics sector, from materials and design to fabrication,
packaging, and testing and certification. Featured speakers include
CHIPS R&D leaders, representatives of standards setting organizations,
and leading industry alliances and consortia.
Co-hosted by the CHIPS R&D Office, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology
Organization (IEEE-ISTO), the International Electronics Manufacturing
Initiative (iNEMI), IPC International, the Joint Development Foundation
(JDF), the Networking and Information Technology Research and
Development Program (NITRD), the National Nanotechnology Coordination
Office (NNCO), SEMI North America, and the Semiconductor Industry
Association (SIA), the summit will bring together key stakeholders and
experts to exchange ideas on focusing and accelerating strategic
efforts across the full spectrum of standards development pathways.
The outcomes of the CHIPS R&D Standards Summit will shape future
stakeholder meetings and inform strategies for the CHIPS R&D Office.
They will also provide input to standards and measurement programs
supporting the needs of the semiconductor industry, enhancing
innovation and technology advancement. These outcomes will be published
in a post-summit report and will inform standards planning efforts
across the semiconductor innovation ecosystem and within the CHIPS R&D
Office.
We encourage interested stakeholders, industry representatives, and
standards setting organizations to participate actively in this pivotal
event. We also invite international attendees, as fostering global
collaboration and enriching the discussions on advancing semiconductor
standards and innovation is paramount to success. Join us at the CHIPS
R&D Standards Summit as we collaboratively shape the future of
semiconductor and microelectronics standards, foster innovation, and
advance the industry as a whole.
