NY Design Educators Summit at NY Creates

Thursday, May 21, 2026

10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Albany NanoTech Complex

As integrated circuits continue to shape nearly every aspect of global business and daily life—from consumer products and communications to transportation, healthcare, and defense—the need to develop and attract IC design talent in New York State represents a significant opportunity for growth.

The NYDesign Educators Summit brings together educators, industry leaders, and institutional partners from across the state to explore how we can collectively build a strong pipeline of semiconductor design talent in New York.

This one-day summit will provide an opportunity to:

  • Learn about NYDesign programming and impact
  • Explore partnerships and implementation opportunities
  • Connect with peers across education and industry
  • Discuss strategies to expand IC design education statewide

NY Creates Emerging Technologies Seminar Series

The Emerging Technologies Seminar Series (ETSS) embraces a wide range of topics such as neuromorphic computing and AI, integrated photonics, power electronics using wide bandgap materials, RF devices and high-speed electronics, quantum computing, sensing and communications, and integrated nanoscale devices for biological applications. Speakers in the series will address these topics from both a technical perspective and a market-oriented/technology commercialization perspective. These seminars are conducted via Zoom, and require pre-registration.
