SEE/MAPLD is Modernizing!
In recognition of the evolution of complex microelectronics for space usage, SEE/MAPLD is becoming the
Single Event Effects (SEE) Symposium
featuring the Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) for Space Workshop!
(SEE Symposium featuring SOCs for Space Workshop)

May 11-15, 2026
Marriott La Jolla in San Diego, California

While Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have not gone away, we recognize that many FPGAs are SOCs and the trade space with other architecture SOCs is growing in the space regime.

The 2026 SEE Symposium featuring SOCs for Space Workshop will be held, May 11-15, 2026 at the Marriott Hotel in La Jolla, CA. The 2025 Symposia attracted nearly 200 professionals from Industry, Government and Academia. In addition to hosting 24 Exhibits, the event featured more than 30 technical talks, a poster session and a full day tutorial dedicated to SEE testing of FPGAs. Attendees represent fields of space radiation environment and radiation effects as well as those developing and using SOCs or SOC-based systems in space (e.g., FPGAs, GPU/TPUs, memories, power devices, communications, etc).

SEE/SoC will feature content including, but not limited to, the following areas:

	Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI / ML)		Continuing Education & Workforce Development
	Designing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) / Systems on a Chip (SoCs) / New Devices		FPGA & SoC Assurance
	Guidelines and Standards		On-Orbit Experiments & Model Validation
	Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA)		SEE Test Facilities
	SEE in Devices & Circuits / Mechanisms & Modeling		Space Environments
