The 2026 IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits is scheduled from June 14 – 18, 2026 in Honolulu, HI. Now in its 44th year of delivering a unique convergence of technology and circuits for the microelectronics industry, Held as a five-day event, combining both live sessions onsite at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, as well as on-demand access to selected presentations following the conference, the Symposium features advanced VLSI technology developments, innovative circuit design, and the applications they enable, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, wearable/implantable biomedical applications, big data, cloud / edge computing, virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
The weeklong Symposium will continue its reputation as the microelectronics industry’s premiere international conference integrating technology, circuits, and systems with a range and scope unlike any other conference. In addition to the technical presentations, the Symposium program will feature a demonstration session, evening panel discussions, joint focus sessions, short courses, and workshops.
Special events at the Symposia include mentoring events for Women in Engineering and Young Professionals, sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society and the Solid State Circuits Society, and the traditional luau celebration.
