As a service to SEMICON® exhibitors, SEMI® provides media accreditation to members of the working press. Accreditation is granted at the discretion of SEMI and provides access to the exposition and working press room solely for the purposes of reporting on the semiconductor equipment and materials industry, industry news events, new products, business development, and other news associated with SEMI expositions. Due to the number of requests received for press passes, media accreditation is limited to those acting in an editorial capacity for relevant publications or news organizations.

Publishers/associate publishers, analysts, sales, advertising, public relations, marketing, market research, technical support staff, consultants and exhibiting company personnel are not eligible for press credentials.

SEMI requires proof of applicant’s professional status. Please see below for press accreditation requirements. Applications will be processed only upon receipt of all requested documentation.

If you require further assistance, contact Jonathan Davis at SEMI Global Headquarters at 1.408.943.6937 or via e-mail at semipr@semi.org.
