The workshop includes a special dinner, distinguished talk from IEEE Fellow Prof. Ingrid Verbauwhede, and a poster session with elevator pitches. Additionally, established members of academia and industry will talk about their unique journeys in a career panel: "Sharing our Paths to Success", touching upon educational choices, research pursuits, skill development, networking, work-life balance, effective transitioning between academia and industry, and more. The panel is open to all ISSCC 2024 attendees and the public.
