Majority Whip Frank Carroll has announced that SEMICON West 2025, the largest semiconductor conference in North America, is being held in Phoenix for the first time in its history. The event, which had previously taken place exclusively in Silicon Valley for 50 years, is expected to draw approximately 40,000 attendees to the Phoenix Convention Center this week. Registration numbers have increased by 62% compared to last year, and the event sold out last December, leading organizers to expand the available space.
The Arizona Commerce Authority and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council are co-hosting the Arizona Semiconductor Leadership Day during the conference. This event will gather over 600 guests, including delegations from 17 countries, to discuss Arizona’s role in semiconductor infrastructure and development.
“With billions in new investments, Arizona continues to show that we can compete – and win – on the world stage. The fact that SEMICON West has come to Arizona and sold out speaks volumes about our leadership in the global semiconductor space,” said Majority Whip Carroll. “This is more than a conference; it’s a recognition of the years of collaboration and vision that have made Arizona a cornerstone of America’s tech future. I remain committed to supporting continued industrial growth through thoughtful public policy as we work towards boosting our economy, strengthening our communities, and creating opportunities for Arizona families.”
Warren Petersen was elected as a Republican to represent Arizona’s 14th Senate District in 2023.
