CASPA 35th Annual Conference & Dinner Banquet
The CEO Summit
Celebrating 35 Years of Semiconductor Innovation & Leadership
35 Years. One Historic Stage.
As CASPA celebrates its 35th Anniversary, we are proud to present CASPA’s largest-ever gathering of global semiconductor CEOs.
For the first time in CASPA history, an extraordinary lineup of world-renowned CEOs, founders, technology pioneers, Nobel Laureates, venture capital leaders, and industry visionaries will come together for The CEO Summit, sharing their vision for AI, semiconductors, advanced computing, and the technologies shaping the next decade.
Under this year’s theme, “Silicon, Systems, and Intelligence: Designing the Next Decade,” the Summit will explore how today’s breakthroughs in advanced silicon, intelligent systems, and AI infrastructure are transforming industries and defining the future of technology.
From global semiconductor leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, these distinguished speakers collectively represent organizations driving trillions of dollars in technology innovation and powering virtually every modern computing platform. Their insights will provide a unique perspective on the opportunities, challenges, and breakthroughs that will shape the next era of computing.
One of the highlights of the Summit will be an exclusive on-stage conversation between Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Intel, and Jimmy Cheng, President of CASPA (2026–2027), offering rare insights into leadership, innovation, and the future of the semiconductor industry.
Whether you are an executive, entrepreneur, investor, engineer, researcher, student, or aspiring innovator, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the leaders defining the future of semiconductors, AI, and pintelligent systems while connecting with some of the brightest minds across the global technology ecosystem.
