“Net-Zero Procurement: Procuring a fix to climate change” with Bob Willard, Founder and Chief Sustainability Champion, Sustainability Advantage Date/Time: Tuesday October 29th, 6:00 – 7:00 pm PDT Abstract: We have a climate crisis. Governments’ pledges to reduce their countries’ GHG emissions are insufficient and unfulfilled. Most businesses are sitting on the sidelines waiting for governments to fix climate change. That won’t happen. Unless businesses set and meet science-based net-zero targets, the climate cannot be stabilized. Bob Willard will outline how we can unleash the buying power of governments / companies / organizations as a powerful market force that mobilizes businesses in the race to net-zero. Learning Objectives: By attending this webinar, you will learn: • What Net-Zero Procurement is, as a high priority subset of Sustainable Procurement • Why companies need to use it to reduce their supply chain’s GHGs • How a free, open-source toolkit enables any organization to smoothly integrate net-zero procurement elements into its current procurement system. • A Master Plan to globally deploy Net-Zero Procurement to fix the climate crisis Co-sponsored by: IEEE-USA, IEEE SSIT, IEEE IAS, IEEE OES, IEEE PES, IEEE TEMS, IEEE SA Speaker(s): , Bob Willard Agenda: 6:00 PM Introduction of Speaker 7:00 PM Adjourn Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436870

Interested in knowing how to go from idea to chip? In this beginning workshop, led by extraordinary leader in semiconductors, Matt Venn (TinyTapeout), learn how to design your own chip. If designing a chip seemed elusive, this is THE workshop that will show a clear path for getting it done. This is expected to be one of the largest gathering of new chip designers, so register soon!Tiny Tapeout is a great way to teach digital design and get real chips back. Students get hands-on experience with building their own application-specific integrated circuits and taking them all the way through to production - with the goal of holding a fully-packaged and ready-to-use chip in their hand at the end of the process.WHERE: San Diego Marriott, 4240 La Jolla Village Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037. Parking validations available. Limited room block discount available for out of town guests.WHEN: 8:15 AM - 1:30 PM Doors open at 8:15 AM. Workshop will start at 9:00 AM sharp.SPONSORS: Tiny Tapeout, UCSD, IEEE Region 6REGISTRATION: Lunch and your own "Tiny Tapeout" Slot will be provided to every attendee. Event is in-person only. Use Discount Code # IEEEREGION6 for an additional discount ($20 off).Who should attend? Whether you are in high school, university or looking to get into or refresh skills in the semiconductor industry, this beginning workshop will take your chip designs to another level. All are welcome, but below are some suggestions:- Middle or high school students - want to know more about the field of semiconductors? This will be a great introduction.- Teachers - learn the steps to design and tapeout a chip to enhance your curriculum- Industry - want to level up and learn the steps in chip design? Join us.- University students - been studying engineering for awhile but never taped out a chip? Now's your chance.Hope to see you there! Click on the registration link to join us - pre-registration is required.Additional Info - Check out the links below. The links have some videos and some basic knowledge of chip design that would be helpful to get the most benefit from the workshop.- (https://tinytapeout.com/)- (https://efabless.com/chipignite)- (https://ucsd.edu/)- (https://tryengineering.org/semiconductors/)Co-sponsored by: SPONSOR: UCSD VLSI CAD LAB - vlsicad.ucsd.eduAgenda: Agenda will take the attendees from idea to design, with the final step a submission to Tiny Tapeout to be manufactured:- Doors Open 8:15 AM- Workshop Starts at 9:00 Sharp- Workshop Introduction - Matt Venn, Founder Tiny Tapeout- Workshop: From Idea to Design - an amazing opportunity to walk through the steps to actually design your own chip!- Draw and Simulate Transistors (using SiliWiz)- Draw and Simulate a Simple Digital Circuit (using Wokwi)- Convert the Circuit Design to be manufactured- Submit your design to Tiny Tapeout!
