SBC 2008 will offer an important forum for discussion about what the different semiconductor communities are planning, what trends are seen, and what the outlook is for the industry.

For the past nine years, the challenges and opportunities facing members of the semiconductor, equipment and materials industries have been detailed at SBC. The focus is on developing a dialog between customers and suppliers. Where as the Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) offers market forecasts, industry segment experts, semiconductor demand insight and the Wall Street outlook, the Strategic Business Conference is a forum for you to hear directly from semiconductor manufacturers. Chipmakers share their roadmaps, manufacturing strategies, trends and their investment plans.

But the program content is not the only benefit of SBC. Networking with the right people paves the way for business relationships. The SBC setting and agenda will provide a perfect atmosphere for relationship-building.

CEOs, presidents and other senior corporate executives from the semiconductor equipment and materials industry who are involved in sales, marketing and strategic planning find great benefit in SBC. Senior executives in the manufacturing community attend to take advantage of the valuable opportunity to network with their suppliers.

Members of the financial community attend SBC, as do industry analysts and market researchers.

“As the industry becomes more global, and international partnerships continue to become more important, there are few opportunities to meet with groups of suppliers, peers and industry experts in a relaxed and casual environment. That's one of the true values of SBC.”

Craig Ignaszewski, Director, Technology Procurement, IBM Corporation

“The global scope of the industry offers few opportunities for semiconductor manufacturers to communicate with a group of important equipment and materials suppliers at one time. The growing role of Chinese foundries and our reliance on a global vendor base brought me to SBC 2007 as a speaker, where I was able to meet with many of my key vendors and communicate the SMIC message. SBC is a unique event--one that can benefit all suppliers."

Dr. Sam T. Wang, President, SMIC America
