Building the Workforce of the Future: The DEI Imperative

Wednesday, December 8 | 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Keynote Stage, Moscone North, Lower Level, Room 24

As global demand for semiconductors continues to surge, the need for a robust talent pipeline has never been more critical. Unlocking new levels of innovation requires investing in inclusion and diversity to attract, develop, and retain talent. However, even as many companies are making commitments to increase equity in the workplace, more work is needed to close the representation gap.

In this session, Lam Research President and CEO Tim Archer will discuss the criticality of diversity, equity, and inclusion to the semiconductor industry as it seeks to scale production to meet demand and innovate for the future. A panel of esteemed industry experts assembled by Lam will then address the unique and persistent hurdles of closing the representation gap, sharing ideas and best practices for how investing in DEI can help semiconductor industry leaders to cultivate a thriving global workforce and fuel their future talent pipeline.
