Early registration for Hot Chips 2026 closes July 31. Join us August 23-25 for the 2026 IEEE Hot Chips 38 Symposium, held in person at Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University, and online. This year’s main program features 27 technical talks from leading innovators across the semiconductor and computing ecosystem, covering CPUs, GPUs, automotive compute, memory, networking, interconnects, FPGAs, AI acceleration, and more. To learn more, see the advance program that includes talk titles, speaker names and affiliations, and session times. We’re excited to welcome Daniel Rosenband for the Waymo keynote, “Compute in Motion: Challenges of Autonomous Driving.” Ten years after his Hot Chips keynote on silicon in self-driving cars, Rosenband returns with a new look at the evolving compute demands behind autonomous driving and the technologies shaping its future. Hot Chips 2026 will also include Sunday tutorials on memory technology and RISC-V, along with student posters highlighting emerging work in AI, RISC-V, photonics, open silicon, thermodynamic computing, and vision-language navigation. In-person attendance is limited due to seating capacity at Stanford, so register early to secure your spot.

About us
Since it started in 1989, Hot Chips Symposium has been known as one of the semiconductor industry's leading conferences on high-performance microprocessors and related integrated circuits. The conference is held once a year in August on the Stanford University campus in the center of the world's capital of electronics activity, Silicon Valley. The HOT CHIPS conference typically attracts more than 500 attendees from all over the world. It provides an opportunity for chip designers, computer architects, system engineers, press and analysts, as well as attendees from national laboratories and academia to mix, mingle and see presentations on the latest technologies and products. The three days of the conference typically feature two tutorials, two keynotes, a panel discussion and around 25 presentations on a variety of subjects related to microprocessors and integrated circuits. It is widely covered by the media; last year, we had about 25 members of the industry and national press covering the conference. Presentations at HOT CHIPS are in the form of 30-minute talks. Presentation slides are published in the HOT CHIPS proceedings and online in the archives section of the HOT CHIPS website. Participants are not required to submit written papers, but a select group are invited to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue of IEEE Micro.
