Meet the Technical Advisory Committee
UltraFacility is developed alongside a technical advisory committee of industry experts from semiconductor manufacturers and technology suppliers — including representatives from Samsung, Intel, Micron, TSMC, Meta, and Texas Instruments.
Their involvement goes well beyond abstract review. Committee members help define the conference theme each year, identify which technical challenges deserve the spotlight, and shape the structure of workshops, roundtables, panels, and poster sessions across all three days. When the agenda reflects what’s actually keeping facility engineers up at night, that’s why.
They then review 100+ abstract submissions against those priorities — ensuring every presentation is data-driven, non-commercial, and addresses a challenge the industry is genuinely facing.
