As a service to SEMICON exhibitors, SEMI® provides media accreditation to members of the working press. Accreditation is granted at SEMI’s discretion and provides access to the exposition, working press room and scheduled press conferences 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, sales, advertising, PR, 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, including titled business card, publication masthead and applicant’s name listed in an editorial capacity.

In addition, SEMI requires supporting documentation be provided as summarized below. SEMICON "Press" credentials will be assigned based on these criteria. Applications will be processed only upon receipt of ALL requested documentation.

Journalists requesting media credentials must pre-register with SEMI Public Relations; contact Mr. Scott Smith at SEMI Global Headquarters (San Jose, California U.S.A.) via telephone at 1.408.943.7957 or e-mail at semipr@semi.org.
