Participate

Welcome to CHIPS Month Canada — our inaugural, annual celebration of the semiconductor and this country’s unique contributions to this powerful technology. From October 7th to November 7th, companies, engineering departments, labs, specialized facilities — maybe even science centres — will be showcasing the ways chips power our lives and the Canadians that have been part of it.

We formed to help promote Canadian organizations, events and people across the country and around the semiconductor world. By sharing our stories under one banner, we can elevate everyone’s impact. This is a volunteer collaboration where we all help each other.

There are lots of ways to participate:

The Pioneers: Canada's Semi-celebrities

An easy way to participate is by helping us track down our “Semi-celebrities”. Tongue-in-cheek intended, it’s time for the heroes of our community to be recognized as part of Canada’s proud legacy of extraordinary thinkers, tinkerers and market shapers.

Send us the names of founders, inventors and industry leaders at the heart of your company; key academics that pioneered technology or were incredible mentors. Our collage of the men and women, past and present, who have made Canada’s semiconductor sector vibrant is the first step in capturing its history .

Here’s what we need:

  • Full name
  • Head shot
  • Company name or institution
  • Years active
  • Short description of their work
  • Tech shots

Celebrate your favourite ‘Semi-celebrity” by featuring them on your company or engineering faculty’s website during CHIPS month. It would be great to see our community showcased publicly right across the country.

Conferences and Events

From professional conferences like the MEMS & Sensors Executive Congress in Bromont to ventureLAB’s Hard Tech Summit in Markham to academic conferences, just let us know what you’ve got planned. We’ll add it to our calendar of events and promote it.
