Scope of the conference

The VLSI-SoC Conference, the premier assembly in the realm of Very Large-Scale Integration Systems-on-Chip, is gearing up for its 2025 edition in the stunning natural setting of Puerto Varas, Chile. Esteemed as a pivotal gathering, this conference brings together the brightest minds, pioneers, and visionaries to share groundbreaking research, innovative concepts, and the exploration of current trends in VLSI and SoC technology. Organized by Universidad de La Frontera, this conference isn’t merely an event; it serves as the cornerstone of a comprehensive agenda, hosting specialized workshops, interactive sessions, and a dynamic environment encouraging the exchange of invaluable insights. Join us in the exotic locale of Tangier for an immersive experience at the forefront of modern VLSI and SoC technology.

Location of the conference

This 33rd edition of VLSI-SoC will take place in Puerto Varas, a city in Chile’s Lake District about 1,000km south from Santiago (1:45hr by flight). It sits on the southwest banks of the expansive Lake Llanquihue, which offers commanding views of snow-capped Osorno Volcano and Calbuco Volcano, both still active. The city also known as “the city of roses” is famous for its German traditions and a truly stunning natural setting. It enjoys a scenic location close to mountains, lakes, forests, and national parks. Puerto Varas is the southernmost of a string of towns on the western shore of the lake that includes Frutillar and its famous Teatro del Lago a magnificent lakeside concert hall which plays host to top international orchestras and artists.

The city with its magical corners, its waterfront that invites you to walk and contemplate the volcanoes on the shores of Lake Llanquihue offers a beautiful landscape, good hotel and gastronomic infrastructure, a modern casino, a lake beach, and several outdoor activities during the summer.
