Evening Events (February 11th - 13th )Figures-of-Merit on Trial

The goal of this panel is to probe the weaknesses and strengths of popular analog Figures-of-Merit (FoM) in an entertaining and educational way: To this end, the room will become atribunal with the moderator as judge. For each FoM on trial, two panelists will officiate, onebecoming the defending advocate of the FoM, and the other the prosecutor, while the audiencewill become the jury, that will decide which of the two combatants will win. The panelist withhighest score will receive an entertaining prize!

Lessons Learned – Great Circuits That Didn’t Work(Oops, If Only I Had Known!)

Working on your first (or last) IC can be exciting, stressful, rewarding, and embarrassing.Whatever the lesson learned, be assured that it was experienced by pioneers before you.Failures (mistakes or just bad ideas!) can be valuable learning experiences, but are rarelyrevealed. Tonight, we provide an opportunity for recognized experts to share their past mistakesand failures, and disclose lessons learned. After the panelists have confessed, the audiencecan also contribute “learning experiences” (in less than a minute). Inevitably, this collectionof revelations will be motivating: inspiring to the young and inexperienced; and virtuous forgurus in sharing a universal truth – first-time perfection is rare!

Can Artificial Intelligence Replace My Job?– The Dawn of a New IC Industry with AI

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) capable of human tasks and more and better, isapproaching fast. Shortly, most businesses, including the IC industry, will choose AI overhumans, if AI can deliver the same results with lower risks and costs. Consequently, manyquestions arise for us: what will be the respective roles of AI and humans in developing ICs?How will AI shape the IC industry? What is the right career choice for young people in thefield? This panel will showcase diverse experts who will share their vision on this dauntingnew development in our business.
