Arizona State University's new medical school, the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering, recently gained accreditation and will now begin recruiting students for its first class in 2026.

Early this month, Phoenix hosted SEMICON West, a leading industry conference in microelectronics. Traditionally held in Silicon Valley, this marks the first time SEMICON West has hosted its conference in Phoenix. This achievement highlights Phoenix as a growing center for innovation, technology, and advanced manufacturing. We’re excited to have SEMICON in Phoenix, supporting our local businesses and solidifying our city's position as America’s semiconductor capital.
Phoenix loves good food! Resy, the online reservation platform, has announced its inaugural Resy 100 list, which defines dining today and serves excellent food and drinks.

We’re proud to have them represent Phoenix.
