cmoset.comMeetings are held every year, usually in Vancouver or Whistler, Canada, with the objectives of:
- Reviewing state-of-the-art emerging technologies and applications in the cmoset.comareas, opportunities for technology transfer and commercialization, and current research trends in the above areas.
- Bringing together researchers, academics, industry people, investors, and entrepreneurs to explore new and emerging technologies and their impacts on the community and to foster technology transfer and commercialization.
- Allowing people from industry, academic institutions, and the investor community to dialogue with their counterparts and subject matter experts from other countries to create opportunities for everyone.
The cmoset.comMeetings started in 2005 and have grown substantially over the years. They have been attracting participants from all over the world. All speakers are invited by a program committee and the number of attendees is limited; advance registration is mandatory. Our objective is to provide companies and academic institutions with a platform for showcasing their technology, innovations, products and services, and to create a stimulating common ground for exploring collaborations and encouraging discussions on emerging technologies.

Dan Gale, Vice-President and CTO, CMC Microsystems
Dan Gale is Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer for CMC Microsystems. Over the course of his career, his leadership and commitment has helped to enable Canada’s distinguished and full participation in the global microsystems community. With almost 30 years of experience, he developed and shaped CMC programs supporting university researchers to collaborate effectively with industry and acquire access to leading-edge microsystems technologies. Building on a solid foundation in microelectronics, CMC’s product and service portfolio now includes MEMS, microfluidics, photonics and embedded software. In 2000, he led the development of a national System-on-Chip Research Network involving 33 universities, funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Ontario Innovation Trust. In 2001, similar effort led to a funding award for the National Microelectronics and Photonics Testing Collaboratory, involving 21 universities and supported by the same Foundation, and three provincial agencies. He was instrumental to the success of three subsequent proposals each attracting $40 million to $50 million of funds: Realizing the Microsystems Advantage, the Embedded Systems Canada project and Microsystems: Creating Economic Value for Canada project, in 2005, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
On a continuing basis, Dan serves as officer of CMC’s Board and as Vice-Chair of the corporate Technical Advisory Committee. He is a Director in DMT Microsystems, a subsidiary of CMC Microsystems. He is a Director and Vice-Chair on the Board of the Canadian Photonics Consortium, a Director on the Board of the Photovoltaic Innovation Network, and Member of the program committee for the Next Generation Optical Networks program (NSERC-CREATE). On the global stage, he is Chief Delegate (Canada) for the annual World Micromachine Summit—a position that evolved from his participation in the Canadian delegation at the inaugural Summit hosted in Japan in 1995. He has also contributed to various MANCEF initiatives, (commercialization education). On a continuing basis he interacts with organizations similar to CMC located in Asia, Europe and the USA. He holds a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada.
