SEMICON West is the flagship North American gathering for the semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing ecosystem, produced by SEMI, the global industry association. Hosted at The Moscone Center in SoMa, San Francisco, it convenes equipment and materials suppliers, device makers, foundries, OSATs, system companies, investors, and policymakers to map the future of chips and the systems they enable.
More than a trade show, SEMICON West combines a technology expo with executive keynotes, market outlooks, and technical theaters covering front-end fab through assembly, packaging, and test. Attendees can explore lithography, deposition, etch/clean, CMP, contamination control, metrology/inspection, facility subsystems (vacuum, gas, abatement), automation and software, test and measurement, and advanced packaging/heterogeneous integration. Programming frequently highlights AI and high‑performance computing, automotive and power electronics, sensors/IoT, sustainability, workforce development, and supply chain resilience—anchored by SEMI’s data-driven market briefings and standards activities.
The event is tailored to semiconductor professionals across the value chain: process, equipment, and manufacturing engineers; R&D leaders; operations and supply chain managers; procurement and quality teams; EHS/sustainability professionals; product and business strategists; and executives at IDMs, foundries, fabless firms, OSATs, materials providers, and subsystem suppliers. It’s also a hub for startups, VCs and analysts tracking capex cycles, as well as students and educators engaging with workforce programs.
Register early—pricing varies by pass type (Expo vs. Conference/All‑Access) and category (industry, students, SEMI members), and popular sessions fill quickly. Use the official agenda and floor map to prioritize booths, theaters, and meetings; book time with key suppliers in advance. The Moscone Center is walkable from downtown hotels and near BART and Muni stops; rideshare pickup is straightforward along Howard/3rd. Wear comfortable shoes—the show floor is extensive—and bring business cards or a QR-ready digital contact.

Skip the surge pricing. Keep the good nights' sleep. Downtown hotels near Moscone Center book up fast and surge in price during Semicon West. Marina Motel puts you in a quieter, classic San Francisco neighborhood — walkable to the waterfront, Chestnut Street shops and restaurants, and just a short ride to SoMa and the Moscone Center via rideshare, bus, or the Marina/Union Street corridor. It's a good fit for attendees who want to end a long conference day away from the downtown crowds, with easier parking and a more relaxed, residential feel.
