Semiconductor specialists converge on Paris

Next month's fourth annual IET and FSA International Semiconductor Forum in Paris will bring together high-tech industry leaders from around the world.

The fourth annual IET and FSA International Semiconductor Forum will be held on 14th and 15th May 2007 at le Palais des Congres in Paris, France.

The event brings together high-tech industry leaders from around the world to examine the most pressing issues surrounding today's semiconductor industry.

Building on the success of previous events, the forum will feature five esteemed keynote speakers, an executive/business track and this year, a new technical track targeted for engineers.

Together, the tracks and keynote addresses offer two days of thematically focused presentations and panel discussions highlighting the following topics: the changing semiconductor landscape; new technologies and new markets; implementing emerging technology; the consumer market's impact on semiconductors; advanced node adoption; analogue intellectual property (IP); system-in-package (SiP) design; supply chain management; and design for yield, design for test and design for manufacturing.

Keynote speakers include: Wim Roelandts, President, CEO and Chairman, Xilinx; Mike Muller, CTO, ARM; Jan Willis, Senior Vice President of Industry Alliances, Cadence Design Systems; John Yu, COO, Chipnuts; and Ron Torten, CEO, Nemerix.

In conjunction with the forum, the event will feature an exposition highlighting semiconductor industry suppliers showcasing their latest products and services.

Admission to the exposition is complimentary to all semiconductor professionals and promotes the expansion of global business partnerships.

Vivian Pangburn, Vice President of Global Marketing at FSA, said: "FSA is pleased to collaborate with the IET for the fourth consecutive year and is excited about the enhancements we've made to this year's event".

"Based on the demand for more technically themed topics, we have added a new technical track providing in-depth discussions concerning today's semiconductor landscape".

"In addition, the event will feature an exposition showcasing suppliers to promote the cultivation and furthering of business partnerships".

Paul Jackson, IET Director of Operations, said: "The International Semiconductor Forum has established itself as the key industry event in Europe".

"It will again feature leading industry figures as keynote speakers".

"Bringing together keynote speakers from Europe, China and the USA reflects the importance of a global knowledge network for the engineering community".

"We particularly welcome the introduction of the technical track which adds to the value of the event".
