Hail Caesar, We Who Are About to Present Our Research, Salute You

Join us at DAC 2023 to watch our fierce Engineering Track Poster Gladiators battle to see who will emerge as the winner of the DAC Gladiator Poster Award. 

This new program recognizes the hard work and preparation the poster submitters have completed. Each Poster Gladiator finalist will be given 5-minutes in the DAC Pavilion on either the Monday or Tuesday of DAC to present their submitted and approved poster presentation in a speed round. Presenters will be presenting in front of a panel of expert industry judges. In addition to the judges, the audience will also be partly responsible for determining the fate of each gladiator and deciding the winner. 

Poster gladiators will be judged on the following criteria:

  • Engineering Tracks reviewer scores
  • Originality and creativity of the work being presented
  • Clarity and writing style
  • Impact of the gladiator's ideas and work

Battle MC - Brian Fuller, ARM

Judges

  • Michael (Mac) McNamara, Adapt IP
  • Harry Foster, Siemens
  • Rob Oshana, Analog
  • Rob Aitken, Synopsys
