WORKSHOP:

The theme for this year’s CS MANTECH Workshop is “CS MANTECH Through the Supply Chain: From Substrates to Systems.”  After a two-year break from the CS MANTECH community meeting together in-person, this year’s Workshop will cover the industry effects of what has kept us apart – the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of compound semiconductor manufacturing technology.  Because we have all been affected by various resource and supply chain shortages in the last two years, this Workshop will address that issue and related topics head-on, to share lessons-learned and emerging trends as a community.

EXHIBITS OPEN

The conference social functions begin Monday evening at 6:00pm with the Exhibitor Reception, and the Exhibitors’ Forum from 6:10pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with material suppliers, tool manufacturers, and service provides; the Exhibitors’ Forum provides an opportunity for exhibitors to present short marketing/technical presentations to the conference attendees.  This is a great chance to touch base with current vendors, view new offerings, and network with colleagues all while enjoying a taste of the local cuisine.

INTERNATIONAL RECEPTION:
We are excited to host the 2022 CS MANTECH International Reception (IR) on Tuesday, May 10^th, 7:15 pm, at the historic and elegant Barns at Cooper-Molera, located in downtown Monterey, California…. Just a short walk from the Marriott Monterey.

For the first time in CS MANTECH we will feature a Fireside Chat with a Venture Capitalist (VC).
