ICPT 2022
International Conference on Planarization Technology
September 27-29, 2022 | Benson Hotel | Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. + Everywhere!
HYBRID EVENT:
Live In-Person or Virtual Conference Experience | REGISTER NOW!
Technical Presentations | Keynote Talks | Posters | Exhibitions | Networking
For the first time in its history, ICPT is going hybrid offering both an in-person event and a captivating virtual conference experience. Despite a two year hiatus due to the global pandemic, we are evolving and coming back stronger than ever. For those that are passionate about planarization technology, we aim to produce the biggest ICPT yet with the broadest reach. Continuing the tradition started with ICPT 2015, the last time the conference was on American soil, the #1 global planarization-focused conference and the #1 American-based planarization conference (C.A.M.P.) are joining forces to put on a very special one-of-a-kind not-to-be-missed celebration!
Learn about the newest innovations in our field of specialization. Reconnect with colleagues from around the world. Discover new opportunities for solving problems from the insight of technical experts, thought leaders, and visionaries. Reengage with customers and suppliers. Most of all, have fun! Enjoy live or on-demand recordings for up to 60 days after the event from planarization professionals operating on the forefront.
All registrants (both in-person and virtual) will have access to the Engagez virtual conference platform which made the all-virtual C.A.M.P. 2021 an incredible success. Whether you join us from a corporate viewing party, seated in the magnificent Benson's Mayfair ballroom, or from your desk (at work or home), we warmly welcome you back.

The Venue
THE BENSON:
A HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PORTLAND HOTEL
Since opening this downtown Portland Hotel in 1913, The Benson has been a hidden gem. Envisioned by lumber baron and philanthropist Simon Benson, this fabled, European-style hotel was built to put Portland on the international map and to be the finest hotel west of the Mississippi. Featuring Italian marble floors, Austrian crystal chandeliers, and wood paneling from rare Circassian walnut harvested from the imperial forests of Russia, the hotel is a sublime achievement of vision and American master craftsmanship. It is a class all its own. No other hotel in the region comes close to the quintessential elegance, amenities, and charm of The Benson. For more than 100 years, the hotel’s staff has welcomed celebrities, CEOs, dignitaries, and a majority of U.S. presidents.
Now it’s your turn to discover the timeless beauty of this landmark hotel. Read more on the storied history of The Benson Hotel here.
Learn more about the interesting life of Norwegian-American, Portland lumber baron, and philanthropist Simon Benson at Wikipedia and the Oregon Encyclopedia.
In 1912, Benson gave the City of Portland $10,000 for the installation of twenty bronze drinking fountains. These fountains, known as "Benson Bubblers", are still in use in downtown Portland. Portland's sister city, Sapporo, Japan, also has one of these drinking water fountains!
