Following its 10th anniversary in 2025, the CW Technology and Engineering Conference (CWTEC) returns as a key fixture in the UK tech calendar, bringing together 250+ senior engineers, technologists, academics and industry leaders.
In July 2026, CWTEC focuses on the semiconductor and photonics technologies shaping the next decade of connectivity and compute. As AI, electrification and advanced connectivity accelerate, engineering challenges are shifting beyond miniaturisation to include speed, heat, bandwidth and energy efficiency.
CWTEC 2026 will take a deep technical look at the semiconductor and photonics innovations driving today’s AI boom and those set to define the future. The conference will explore design, manufacturing, materials and systems integration, emerging bottlenecks, and where the UK can build distinctive global leadership.
If you’re working at the forefront of semiconductor and photonics innovation, this is where the next chapter gets shape. Registration opens at 9:00am with the sessions starting at 9:45am.
