As North America invests more than $500 billion in semiconductor and advanced manufacturing expansion, the systems enabling that growth begin long before gas reaches the process tool.
Most technology conferences focus on the cleanroom, wafer chemistry, or fab-side utilities. TECH26 takes a different approach—bringing attention to the critical source-to-manifold infrastructure, engineering, and safety systems required to deliver industrial, specialty, and atmospheric gases reliably at scale.
Hosted by the Compressed Gas Association, TECH26 is the only summit dedicated exclusively to the industrial gas supply chain supporting next-generation manufacturing. The event brings together gas producers, equipment manufacturers, integrators, engineers, and safety leaders to address the standards, technologies, and operational challenges powering semiconductor fabrication and other advanced industries.
Across 30+ sessions, you’ll gain exclusive access to actionable insights on how industrial and specialty gases are enabling the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing and advanced technology. Hear directly from the engineers, operators, safety leaders, and technical experts driving innovation across the entire source-to-process supply chain.
