Submission Guidelines and Information

Guidelines

Our audience are engineers working in the semiconductor and other high-tech industries. They are seeking specific solutions that directly address industry pain points and need data to prove the value of the solution.

These guidelines have been created to ensure that our team can best assess the value of your submission research and give you the greatest chance to present.

Your abstract must:

  • Demonstrate progress in solving critical industry issues. 
  • Be data-driven, with context about the technical details and the stage of your work. 
  • Tell a story with data, focusing on the lessons that the audience can take away.
  • Not sell a particular tool or proprietary technology, using generic technology names.
  • Use data that does not serve the primary purpose of showcasing the benefit of one proprietary technology. over another.

Notes:

  • Your presentation will be approximately 20 minutes in length, with time set aside for Q&A.
  • If your abstract is not selected for a presentation, we will use the information provided to consider your topic for a roundtable or other opportunities. However, submitting an abstract does not guarantee any speaking position.
