Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) 2025 sessions open gathering semiconductor industry executives for analysis of growth projections and pivotal business trends for the year ahead. Hosted by SEMI, the symposium program runs through January 15 at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, Calif., examining emerging opportunities and potential headwinds in presentations and collaborative discussions with industry stakeholders, government leaders, and research institutions.
Themed Ready, Set, Ramp!, ISS 2025 spotlights the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the semiconductor ecosystem in its exploration of economic trends, market drivers, geopolitics, workforce development, sustainable practices and technology innovations propelling the industry forward on its path toward $1 trillion in global revenue.
“The ISS 2025 program is geared toward arming semiconductor industry executives with insights to capitalize on the momentum and growth over the past year,” said Joe Stockunas, president of SEMI Americas. “With rapid growth comes added complexity, particularly facing increasingly unpredictable challenges, underscoring the importance of collaboration and learning from each other as we advance closer to our industry’s $1 trillion revenue milestone.”
Central themes for ISS 2025 include:
- Allocating resources for large-scale, industry ramp up
- Setting the stage for record-breaking highs in semiconductor revenue and Wafer Fabrication Equipment (WFE) investments
- Preparing for a new industrial revolution driven by accelerated computing
- Fostering industry-wide, collaborative partnerships

Driving Sustainability in PCB Design
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Filbert (Fil) Arzola is an electrical engineer at Raytheon. He’s smart, entertaining, and passionate about PCB design. As it turns out, he’s also passionate about “Mother Earth,” as he calls her. Born and raised in Southern California, he freely admits that he turns the water off when he brushes his teeth and yells at his brother for throwing batteries in the garbage. But when looking at the issue of sustainability and PCB design, he urges his audiences to ponder what sustainability looks like. Can PCB designers, he asks, make any impact on sustainability at all?
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO: Silicon Geometry's Signal Integrity Impact on PCBs
