How to Thrive and Accelerate Your Growth in the Semiconductor Industry
As we celebrate 10 years of Women in Semiconductor, this milestone event invites you to reflect on the progress made while boldly charting your path forward. In an industry where women remain underrepresented, success requires both strategic navigation and authentic leadership.
Through dynamic sessions, we will explore how to intentionally shape a career defined by influence and impact—on your own terms. Together, we’ll examine the realities of navigating a male-dominated industry and share practical strategies to build influence, expand opportunities, and lead with confidence.
At the core of this experience is the development of your personal leadership toolbox—a curated set of skills, relationships, insights, and decision-making frameworks designed to accelerate your growth. You’ll learn how to cultivate meaningful allyship, strengthen the competencies that set you apart, and proactively create opportunities rather than waiting for them.
Join us for this special anniversary as we celebrate a decade of progress and issue a call to action for the future. You’ll leave with practical resources, empowering insights, and a renewed sense of purpose—equipped to thrive authentically and shape the future of the semiconductor industry with confidence and clarity.
Who attends WiS? Company leaders, managers, team members, HR professionals, academia and students. We encourage attendance by everyone who is interested in building a stronger, more dynamic semiconductor ecosystem, and by anyone who is responsible for developing internal or external programs to support women.
"Attending the Women in Semiconductor Conference was an incredibly empowering experience. There is something uniquely impactful about coming together with other women who understand the challenges and opportunities of our industry. The conference created space for honest conversations, meaningful networking, and a sense of community. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that together, we can drive change and support one another in powerful ways." (WiS 2025 attendee)
Please stay tuned for additional programs in 2026. We look forward to your participation.
