Register Now: 2024 Microelectronics Commons Annual Meeting and NSTC Symposium

August 29, 2024 – Registration is now open for the 2024 Microelectronics Commons Annual Meeting and National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) Symposium on October 28-30, 2024, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Join us on October 29 and 30 for the 2024 Microelectronics Commons Annual Meeting to hear from and interact with all eight (8) Commons Hubs at this collaborative event. Packed with informative sessions and engaging networking activities, attendees will receive insights and updates from Microelectronics Commons leaders. This event will explore the many achievements of Commons since the Hub awards and inaugural meeting one year ago, as the eight Hubs highlight their impact on workforce development, as well as present on their current and future capabilities.

Additionally, this year, Microelectronics Commons is excited to announce a collaboration with the National Center for the Advancement of Semiconductor Technology (Natcast) bringing together industry, academia, and government leaders to collaborate on future innovation. On Monday, October 28, participants will have the chance to attend a symposium hosted by NSTC, the first large-scale in-person opportunity to engage with the NSTC program. NTSC will provide updates on their programs and lead topical sessions in the afternoon.

Keynote speakers for the Commons Meeting will be announced in the coming weeks. Attendees can register for one or both events. Please refer to the schedule here to plan your experience. Registration closes on October 15 at 6:00 PM ET. Register now to secure your seat.

About Microelectronics Commons

The Microelectronics Commons program established eight innovation Hubs in 2023 after Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act to strengthen American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security. By investing in this network of 8 regional prototyping Hubs with a focus in 6 main technical areas – 5G/6G, AI Hardware, Commercial Leap-Ahead, Electromagnetic Warfare, Secure Edge/IoT Computing and Quantum Technology – the United States is safeguarding our critical microelectronics supply chain. The Microelectronics Commons was awarded through the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S²MARTS) OTA, established by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division and managed by NSTXL, which is the premier rapid OT contracting vehicle for the Department of Defense (DoD) in trusted microelectronics, strategic & spectrum mission, and other critical mission areas.
