Walking into the West Hall of the Moscone at next year’s SEMICON West will provide a look into the future of the semiconductor equipment industry as never before!
It will be both the start and end of the OEM semiconductor industry.
I wish SEMI had said this would happen before last year’s show, as we
could all have taken an extra moment to stop, look and take in the
scene as it will never been seen this way again!
SEMI has
announced that it is sharing SEMICON West with Intersolar, the event
organizers of solar shows in Germany, with West Hall being the focal
point of companies involved in the solar market.
Not only will
equipment companies attend, but a broad spectrum of businesses
throughout the supply chain will be interested. This will attract a
serious amount of non-techies and - dare I say it! – CONSUMERS to the
show! I had intended saying THE PUBLIC but that would have been too
scary!!
Are things going that bad at SEMI that consumers will be allowed in?
Anyway,
as a public information announcement, I would strongly recommend that
you book your hotels earlier than normal - otherwise you may be
disappointed.
To my own management, please read the above.
