Dresden, Germany

Hyperion Hotel Dresden am Schloss

(The CMC Seminar follows the Private CMC Meetings:
CMC Fabs-Only on Oct. 27-28, and CMC Joint Session (Fabs & Suppliers) on  Oct. 28 

Chip fabricators and suppliers around the world are increasingly challenged by managing material supply chains, especially in the sub-tier. “The CMC Seminar is one of the best forums to get information on the materials value-chain.” 

The Critical Materials Council (CMC) Seminar focuses on dynamics of semiconductor materials supply-chains, including sustainability and quality challenges and logistics. Attendees will gain insights into challenges associated with global supply-chains, materials markets, government initiatives, and materials quality challenges including sustainability that must be addressed to support future semiconductor industry opportunities.Attendees have the opportunity to network with CMC Fab members who will have just finished their private meetings held earlier that week at Globalfoundries.

Who should attend: semiconductor device fabricators, materials and equipment suppliers, and financial advisors, with an interest in semiconductor process materials markets.
