Digital Twins – Innovation with Confidence… or Illusion?
28 April 2026 • 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM EDT | Prince George Exhibition Hall, Industry Stage 
Digital twins promise faster design cycles, higher device performance, reduced cost, and greater fab yield by bridging simulation and manufacturing. But where do we begin? Which processes should be modeled first, and how can trust in virtual models be established? Join the panel for a provocative discussion on whether digital twins can truly transform semiconductor innovation, or if the industry still faces critical gaps in models, data, and confidence
