The forum is focused on addressing shared supply chain challenges and improving customer-supplier relations across the photovoltaics (PV) supply chain.

"PV supply chain issues are getting more and more complex. The North American PV Fab Managers Forum presents a much needed opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to come together and identify challenges and supply chain bottlenecks that are best addressed collectively, as supply chain partners, and continue the dialogue to move the needle in the right direction for accelerated solar energy deployment in the U.S. and around the world," said Bettina Weiss, senior director, SEMI PV Group.

The PV Fab Managers Forum at Intersolar North America is new to North America, but the event follows the European PV Fab Managers Forum, held annually in Germany for the last three years. The next European PV Fab Managers Forum will be held next March.
