SEMI offers a complimentary shuttle between the Nangang Exhibition Hall and Hsinchu Science Park, running daily during the 3-day show. Confirm exact times and stops on the official shuttle page.
Is there parking if I drive?
There are parking facilities around the venue, but spaces are limited and likely crowded during the show, so MRT or the shuttle is recommended. Check the official transportation page for details.

How much do the forums cost? Is forum pricing the same for all?
SEMICON Taiwan 2026 has 25 forums, each priced differently and requiring separate registration, so there is no single price. A few are free (e.g. the imec Technology Forum and the SEMI 20 Under 40 Salon). For paid forums, Super Early-Bird (SEMI member) prices start around NT$2,132 and reach about NT$6,689 for the largest (the CEO Summit); Regular-period member prices run roughly NT$3,045 to NT$9,555. Student tickets are mostly NT$882. Registering 3+ people or 3+ forums before August 19 earns a 15% discount. See each forum's own listing for its exact price.
Will exhibitors contact me if I use Askpo?
Anonymous browsing and questions require no sign-up and carry no personal contact details. The platform does not give your email or phone number to exhibitors, and the exhibitor side never shows your full personal name; what appears is your company name or a masked form. After you register, your browsing and questions become intent signals that relevant exhibitors can use as a reference for reaching out; an exhibitor may contact you through in-platform messages, with at most one message per exhibitor per show, a daily cap on the total you receive, and a switch in your inbox settings to turn it off at any time. After you send an inquiry or book a meeting, that exhibitor can see your company name and reply to you inside the platform.
