Why Attend the Design Automation Conference®?
Because the future of technology is found at the Design Automation Conference! It’s also the best priced way to stay current through exchanges with influential people and exposure to new ideas from experts, university researchers and your peers. Your networking opportunities are unmatched.
This yearly conference –– the premier education and networking forum for the electronics design community –– is the place to learn about the most successful design methodologies and to understand how to integrate new design technologies into your current practices.
With a 45-year commitment to advancing CAD, DAC’s technical program offers something for everyone and covers everything related to electronics design automation. Close to 60 technical sessions offer up information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. Attendees come to learn about new areas such as system-level design and embedded systems, verification, low power and DFM. And, the program and the conference continue to evolve to reflect industry developments and emerging trends.
A highlight is DAC’s vibrant Exhibition and Suite area with 250 or so of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon and IP providers demonstrating cutting-edge products, technologies and services. It’s a great place to compare companies and products in a single setting.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend DAC! It just isn’t part of the design automation infrastructure, it is the infrastructure.
Who Attends?
A strong and diverse worldwide community of designers attends each year ...
- System designers who develop the entire system description, including embedded software
- Architects who develop the high-level description of the hardware and the hardware interface, such as the instruction-set for CPU design
- Logic or front-end designers who develop the RTL design and synthesize it into schematics, taking a design from RTL to schematics
- Circuit or back-end designers who start from the schematic and design the layout with consideration for power, timing and area consumption
- Validation designers who verify that the system and RTL design will work as intended
- CAD managers responsible for managing the design flow
- Senior managers and executives from leading, emerging and startup electronics companies
- Researchers and academics from leading universities
