Frequently Asked Question - When will Exhibit or Housing Open?
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Exhibitor housing will officially open at 9:00 am (Pacific Standard Time) on Tuesday, November 1st. SEMI is pleased to continue its partnership with San Francisco-based Convention Management Resources, Inc. (CMR) as the official housing provider for SEMICON West 2012, offering guaranteed lowest rates for hotels and special booking incentives. To assist you with your pre-planning efforts, you will receive an email the week of October 27th with a 'sneak peek' to the not-yet live SEMICON West 2012 Housing Site. Here you will find the updated hotel list, the list of amenities exclusive to SEMICON West participants, as well as a preview of the site layout - all designed to assist you and better prepare for the official launch on November 1st. Please note that any housing requests received prior to 9:00 am (PST) November 1st will not be processed.
