Jul. 18, 2018 – SEMICON West seemed a little slow last week but maybe it was just me. I'm sure SEMI will come out with record breaking numbers but I did not see it in the exhibit hall (see the video). What I did see was hundreds of exhibitors but I had no idea what they did. San Francisco again was very congested and smelly. I talked to a friend who is in public works and he said drugs are relatively cheap and plentiful so SF is the place to be when you run out of prescription opioids, and it is getting worse.

Bottom line: I am no longer in favor of SF as a destination for DAC or any other conference. Either do it in San Jose or Santa Clara or get out of Northern California! San Francisco is not going to fix this problem if we keep ignoring it.

Robert Maire, Scotten Jones, and I attended SEMICON and had very productive meetings which gave us a pretty good outlook for 2018/2019. Robert has already published, Scott will add more, and this is mine. Click on the Events tab in the navigation bar to see them all.
