At the recent
#CES2025, the role and channels of today’s influencers were debated throughout a dynamic conversation with some of the best and most skillful
#contentcreators at the show. Thanks to
@briantong, @_justineezarik, Jen Adams, and moderator Katie Melton of
@shopLTK . And especially to Brian and Justine for also sharing a weekful of highly engaging content that delivered shrewd 360° observations from the best show floor yet (thanks to
@GaryShapiro &
@KMFabrizio).
There are
#influencers everywhere, each with their own unique reputation, passion, expertise, and ability to put the spotlight on a spectrum of topics and products. But influencers are not just for beauty, fashion, fitness, travel, and food.
It hit home that there are many in the semiconductor industry that are wittingly - and perhaps unwittingly - playing an influencer role in terms of elevating the visibility of the industry and its truly powerful impact across society today. Every presentation counts. Every conversation counts. Indeed, every word counts. Efficacious influencers are the thought leaders and opinion makers amongst us that represent our industry well. Besides
#rockstar corporate leaders, we are fortunate to have such champion influencers such as Jodi Shelton, Ajit Manocha, and others that passionately use their platforms, whether digital, virtual, in person, or otherwise, to keep expanding the reach of the compelling semiconductor narrative, year after year. Such also include Nitin Dahad, Ed Sperling, E. Jan Vardaman, Shari Liss, Robert Quinn, Françoise von Trapp, and the original
#HIR warrior Bill Chen who continues to work like a trojan every day to bring
#advancedpackaging roadmaps to life - and innovations to market.
As the semiconductor industry collaborates in various ways to address talent shortage concerns and to support
#workforcedevelopment initiatives, we can be very mindful that our words have influence, and we can all play an influential role in one way or another. Our collective voices and content creation will help draw the talent needed to shape the trajectory of our industry as we continue towards a $1T market. It's an exciting time. Here’s to making 2025 the year of the semiconductor influencer!
