Abstract: On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 20 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, 2015, (ISLPED'15), held in Rome, Italy, on July 22–24, 2015. 20 years ago, a group of visionaries noted the avid interest in low-power design in many different disciplines and recognized the need to bring these diverse groups together with the goal of information sharing, and ISLPED was born. In this year's program, we mark the 20 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> anniversary of this conference with special awards, a new Industry Reception dinner, and a Founders' Panel.
