The ConFab

The ConFab June 14 - 17, 2009

The ConFab is a global conference and business meeting where executives from semiconductor equipment and material suppliers can meet with key decision makers from semiconductor manufacturers to discuss current business and technology issues and collaborate on future strategic development in device manufacturing. Ample time is available for private face-to-face meetings between equipment and material suppliers and manufacturers. Attendees will be pre-screened to verify that they are key participants in the buying process.

The ConFab conference program is 100% focused on manufacturing issues, implications and solutions. There will be eight conference sessions led by the foremost experts and semiconductor manufacturing executives that will demonstrate:

•    Proven cost-reduction strategies.
•    Case studies of successful implementation of techniques such as advanced process control and lean manufacturing.
•    How to prepare for the integration of new technologies such as next generation lithography.

The ConFab is the place for device manufacturers to get the answers to today's economic challenges. This exclusive program is built for the benefit of device manufacturers and their global suppliers. The ConFab is not a traditional industry trade show or conference. It is exactly what the name suggests dialogue with industry experts, networking with global players, and alliance-building through private boardroom meetings between device manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers.
