Global Events

GSA holds global events throughout the world, encompassing the entire semiconductor supply chain. We offer global and regional events such as luncheons, International Collaboration Series, trade shows, conferences, expositions, and our annual Awards Dinner Celebration. GSA conducts events in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. A few of our global events are listed below.

• Silicon Series Luncheons - This is a four-part series, spanning the major US geographic regions. By all indications, 2010 will be a comeback year for the semiconductor industry. GSA’s Silicon Series Luncheons will focus on emerging applications and new markets that will drive the recovery and create sustainable revenue and volume growth in silicon shipments. The first luncheon on New Markets, New Economics was held in Santa Clara on Feb. 10th. The second event focused on Next-Generation Networks: The Evolution of Mobile Connectivity will be held on May 4th in Santa Clara.
  
  
• GSA Memory Conference - held on March 16, 2010 in Taipei, Taiwan. This conference was co-organized by Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering (CIEE) and was the first ever industry event dedicated to all memory companies, system houses, and semiconductor companies. The main theme is “Bridging Memory and Logic ICs for a Better System Performance”. More than 300 attendees packed the room to hear from Memory executives.
  
  
• ITAC and GSA Conference - will be held on April 20-21, 2010 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. The conference is co-organized by ITAC and GSA. Technology continues to evolve and to present new and exciting opportunities for innovative products and new cost paradigms. Organic semiconductors offer the promise of “printed electronics”, the 21st Century version of the old printed circuits and they can be flexible too, to offer ground-breaking form factors and reconfigurable user profiles. So how should you position your company to thrive and prosper in “The New Normal”?
  
  
• GSA & IET International Semiconductor Forum - will take place on May 18-19, 2010 in London, UK. In its 7th year, the GSA & IET International Semiconductor Leadership Forum brings together executive management focused on European trends in semiconductor development and markets.  Attendees come from Europe, Asia and the US and comprise professionals from fabless companies, industry suppliers and integrated device manufacturers, as well as executive leaders including CEOs/Presidents, CFOs, COOs, Vice President of Operations, Engineering and Marketing and Business Development. This year’s program will focus on leveraging and maximising European expertise in analog/mixed-signal, wireless/portability, low-power applications and quality/reliability to access the emerging markets for silicon growth in areas that include automotive, medical and home networking to name a few.  The Conference will feature speakers from leading semiconductor companies worldwide.

• Emerging Opportunities Expo & Conference - This North America event on September 16, 2010 brings together suppliers and semiconductor professionals in an effort to advance and cultivate global business partnerships. The event holds an exposition and conference on the latest subject matter for the semiconductor supply chain.
  
  
• Awards Dinner Celebration - The GSA Awards Dinner Celebration on December 9, 2010 is the premier awards ceremony in the semiconductor industry. During the event, semiconductor companies that have shown exemplary success, vision, strategy and future promise are recognized. It is an honor to be selected as a nominee and even more prestigious to win a GSA Award. This event is hosted in Santa Clara, CA.

Industry Alliance Events

• Industry Alliance Events - GSA welcomes the opportunity to work with different organizations and our member companies through alliances. GSA has established an Alliance committee to determine alliance activities. GSA enters into alliances with the goal of providing GSA members with educational and informative opportunities that extend beyond those activities directly hosted by GSA.

Additional Semiconductor Events

• Fabless IC Implementation Seminars - March 18 and 22, 2010 - The available infrastructure to start a fabless IC company today makes it relatively easy to launch, but looming obstacles and market challenges can hinder start-ups from succeeding. Dr. Rakesh Kumar, president of TCX and author of Fabless Semiconductor Implementation, is offering companies a valuable IC implementation seminar that will offer suggestions for participating in a successful endeavor, including technical, marketing and business considerations, such as technology selection, product specification, product positioning, cost optimization, and understanding the customer value chain.
