HEP-IC Workshop 2024 is the fourth in a series of workshops designed to bring together US scientists and engineers involved in developing integrated circuit electronics for particle physics and related applications. Participants from US laboratories and Universities will have an opportunity to learn about the latest activities and developments of the various groups, trends in IC design and fabrication, and new technologies that will be needed to enable future scientific goals. The workshop will also promote collaborations, exchange of ideas on innovative circuit techniques, and provide a forum to discuss new approaches to partnerships and optimizing the use of technical resources. This workshop should provide a high-level overview of activities, together with opportunities for discussions and exploration of new ideas and partnerships to address the technical challenges posed by the next generation of HEP experiments.

Roundtable - Open discussion on how to revitalize the Design Community:
- Where do the next generation of designers come from?
- How do they get trained in the system aspects of our design needs?
- How do we organize continuing education for our designers?
- How to attract members who have a foot in both communities, so that as detector design ideas are being conceived there are experienced designers at the table to help bring perspectives and possibilities?
