List of semiconductor conferences in 2026
Stay ahead of the latest trends in semiconductor technology by attending top conferences in 2026. Explore breakthroughs in AI accelerators, chiplets, advanced packaging, and energy-efficient architectures, connect with industry leaders, and discover new opportunities shaping the future of silicon.
Staying ahead of semiconductor innovation in 2026
In 2026, the semiconductor landscape continues to evolve at full speed. AI-driven workloads, chiplet-based architectures, advanced packaging, and ever-denser process nodes are reshaping how we design, manufacture, and deploy hardware. At the same time, supply-chain resiliency, sustainability mandates, and ongoing geopolitical shifts are forcing companies to rethink where and how they build.
This year’s semiconductor conferences will go deep into topics such as heterogeneous integration and 3D chip stacking, UCIe-based chiplets, photonics and high-bandwidth interconnects, power-efficient edge and automotive systems, and secure by design methodologies for safety critical devices. You’ll also see more sessions on sustainability in fabs, yield optimization, design-technology co-optimization (DTCO), and AI-assisted EDA flows.
Across data centers, automotive, consumer, and industrial IoT, semiconductors are now the backbone of AI infrastructure. Expect 2026 events to showcase how new memory and storage technologies, advanced RF and microwave components, and cutting-edge packaging are enabling AI inference at scale: from cloud to edge devices.
Why these semiconductor conferences matter
Semiconductor conferences are more than technical deep dives, they’re strategic arenas where the next decade of computing is negotiated:
-
Stay ahead of technology curves: Learn what’s coming in logic, memory, packaging, RF, and power electronics before it hits mainstream roadmaps.
-
Expand your ecosystem: Meet foundries, IP vendors, EDA providers, OEMs, and system integrators in one place to explore collaborations and partnerships.
-
Spot new business and R&D opportunities: From chiplet ecosystems to AI accelerators and 5G/6G infrastructure, these events surface the partnerships, funding, and use cases that will define the market.
-
Strengthen your competitive edge: Understand where the industry is heading on topics like export controls, CHIPS-related incentives, security standards, and sustainability expectations and how your organization can respond.
Semiconductor industry trends to watch in 2026
-
AI-optimized chips and accelerators: Specialized silicon for inference, training, and “physical AI” continues to explode—pushing new demands on packaging, power delivery, and thermal design.
-
Chiplets & advanced packaging: 2.5D/3D integration, heterogeneous integration, and wafer-level packaging are moving from innovation to large-scale deployment, making events like WLPS, ECTC, and DAC especially relevant.
-
Memory & storage for AI infrastructure: New architectures for high-bandwidth, low-latency memory and storage are critical to AI data centers, highlighted at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage and AI Infra Summit.
-
Automotive, 5G/6G, and edge: RF, power electronics, and robust embedded systems are central to EVs, ADAS, and connected infrastructure, making conferences like IMS, APEC, and Embedded World key stops.
-
Security, reliability, and trust: As chips underpin everything from critical infrastructure to AI factories, reliability, safety, and hardware-level security are hot topics at IRPS, IEDM, and SEMICON events.
These conferences are where roadmaps are announced, standards are shaped, and partnerships are signed making them essential for anyone building, designing, or relying on cutting-edge semiconductor technologies.
