<p class="intro">Candidates for discussion at the next team meeting — semiconductors, power electronics (GaN/SiC), X-ray optics, photon/nanoscience, and defense/aerospace prospecting, sourced by the scheduled Conference Scout agent and reviewed by hand. PCIM Asia, IMAPS Onshoring Workshop, and SEMICON Taiwan were ruled out as not happening; ICSCRM 2026 was dropped per a no-international-travel-to-Japan constraint. Two further-out defense-prospecting candidates (GOMACTech 2027, IEEE RadarConf&rsquo;27) fall outside this 6-month window and aren&rsquo;t listed here.</p>
<div class="note"><strong>Verification note:</strong> the agent's sandbox blocks direct fetches to official event sites, so dates/locations are cross-referenced across multiple independent search sources rather than confirmed on the primary page — double-check the official site before committing budget or travel.</div>
