Advantest’s VOICE 2024 Draws Record Attendance in San Diego
June 27 2024 - 2:05AM
Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation
(TSE: 6857) concluded a successful VOICE 2024 at the Hilton La
Jolla Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. The event was held on
June 3-5 and drew a record-high attendance of over 400 attendees,
the majority of whom were Advantest customers and industry
partners. This year's VOICE event coincided with Advantest's 70th
anniversary, and the company was pleased to commemorate this
milestone with longstanding customers and industry partners.
The VOICE 2024 committee received 225 abstract
submissions from 40 global companies across 14 countries. Of those
abstracts, 78 papers were presented over two days—the majority of
which were written or co-authored by Advantest’s customers. The
Artificial Intelligence (AI) track was added to this year’s
technical program, in addition to a wide range of topics important
to the automatic test equipment (ATE) industry, such as
5G/millimeter wave, high-performance computing, cloud technologies,
and system-level test.
This year’s event also featured an exciting
lineup of three keynote speakers, including Craig Nishizaki, vice
president of the Test Solutions Group at NVIDIA, Marcelo Ackermann,
professor of the XUV Optics Group at the University of Twente, and
Andrea Lati, director of market research at TechInsights. In
addition to keynotes, Advantest’s Kotaro Hasegawa and Michael Braun
hosted a Technical Highlights session that featured Advantest’s
latest solutions to address emerging test challenges for various
applications including microLED and silicon photonics. Attendees
also had the opportunity to engage with Advantest R&D engineers
during the Technology Kiosk Showcase. Attendees were provided
valuable time to network with others during evening events and
scheduled breaks. In addition, a Workshop Day was hosted after the
event on Thursday, offering attendees a hands-on learning
experience on advanced RF demodulation, Advantest’s new DC Scale
XHC32, and SmarTest 8.
The VOICE Partner's Expo took place throughout
the event, providing Advantest’s partners and sponsors the chance
to meet with attendees and exhibit their latest products and
offerings. This year’s headline sponsors were Alliance ATE
Consulting Group and ISE Labs/ASE Group.
