2026 CICC Sponsors

Sponsor an Event or Promotional Item at CICC

April 19 – 22, 2026 – Seattle, WA, USA

The IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) is a premier conference devoted to Integrated Circuit research and development. In 2026 the 37^th year of CICC will showcase newly developed, innovative work on analog and digital techniques covering a broad spectrum of circuit and system topics.

CICC is a forum for IC and SoC designers, CAD developers, IC foundries and manufacturers, technology providers, and ASIC users. The CICC community is growing with an incredible attendance of over 400 industry professionals, professors, and students from around the world in 2025.

CICC features a technical program with over 150 lecture presentations and 12 educational presentations that will bring professionals up to speed with recent advances in IC state-of-the-art. The conference also includes forums and panel discussions, for discussions and interactions between CICC participants.

Sponsors like you are a fundamental part of CICC. You make the conference possible, help top students attend, promote education and cooperation, and contribute directly to the long-term future of our industry.

CICC sponsorship can improve your company’s brand recognition and recruiting efforts by increasing visibility with the many talented engineers and influential leaders attending the conference. Supporting this IC design conference demonstrates strong corporate leadership and community involvement. This brochure highlights the many ways your company and CICC can work together.
