Call for Industry Forums and Exhibition Program Proposal

Proposals are sought for forums, panels, presentations and demos, specifically from the Semiconductor, VLSI or IT industries.

IEEE EDKCON 2024 will host Industry Forum sessions during the conference, addressing an impressive variety of themes. Industry speakers are invited to discuss industry, technology directions, and, most importantly, challenges for the companies. These presentations inform the attendees on the vision and application of technologies in business and what challenges companies are encountering. The forum also offers the opportunity for researchers to study the particular challenge and know the contact in the companies should they have a solution that the company might utilize. We want all conference attendees to engage in the Industry Forum and listen to the presentations of our industry speakers so all communities can benefit.

The VLSI and Semiconductor Industry professionals can talk about any specific test topic of interest with test community at large.  The participant can present the success stories, new findings, tricks for improvement in efforts, a problem for open discussion, a project with possibility of collaboration with academia or research institutes.
