The Encore at the Wynn Las Vegas!
The ConFab, entering its 8th year in 2012, is a global conference and business meeting where executives from semiconductor equipment and material suppliers can meet with key decision makers from semiconductor manufacturers to discuss current business and technology issues and collaborate on future strategic development in device manufacturing. Ample time is available for private face-to-face meetings between equipment and material suppliers and manufacturers. Attendees are pre-screened to verify that they are key participants in the buying process.
The ConFab conference program is 100% focused on manufacturing issues, implications and solutions. The ConFab is the place for device manufacturers to get the answers to today's economic challenges. This exclusive program is built for the benefit of device manufacturers and their global suppliers. The ConFab is not a traditional industry trade show or conference. It is exactly what the name suggests dialogue with industry experts, networking with global players, and alliance-building through private boardroom meetings between device manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers.
