FLEX Conference 2022 to Highlight Latest Flexible Hybrid Electronics Innovations
April 26, 2022 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
FLEX Conference will gather industry experts July 11-14, 2022, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for keynotes, panel discussions, technical sessions and product-based demonstrations highlighting the latest innovations in flexible and printed electronics. The event will co-locate with SEMICON West Hybrid, North America’s premier microelectronics exhibition and conference that unites players across the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain. Registration for both events is open.
Themed Electronics in Motion, FLEX Conference 2022 will focus on equipment, processes, materials and applications driving the latest flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) technology breakthroughs. The event will also showcase innovations emerging from public-private partnerships formed by SEMI Technology Communities SEMI-FlexTech, SEMI-NBMC (Nano-Bio Materials Consortium) and SEMI-NextFlex.
“FLEX Conference has consistently helped turn great ideas into game-changing applications for smart transportation, buildings and infrastructure; equipment sensorization; wearable and conformable medical devices; and more,” said Dr. Melissa Grupen-Shemansky, SEMI CTO and vice president of SEMI Technology Communities. “We are excited to co-locate FLEX with SEMICON West Hybrid to advance the integration of traditional rigid electronics with flexible electronics to improve the way the world works and lives.”
Advances in sustainability across both industries will come into focus at the Global Sustainability Summit at SEMICON West Hybrid and FLEX as flexible electronics combine new levels of processing and sensing capability with improved power usage to make the devices more eco-friendly.
