Such products and services span the computer hardware, EDA, software, hardware, power integrity, and test & measurement sectors, among many more. DesignCon returns to Silicon Valley for its 25th year, taking place January 28-30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. If interested in attending as press, please register at this link: designcon.im.informa.com/2020/registrations/Media.
The chip, board, and systems design industry represent the backbone of many electronics on the market today. In fact, chipmakers are currently standing out as the best-performing industry across sectors and regions according to CNBC Markets. Semiconductors are now powering the most essential technology due to the growing prevalence of internet-connected devices to the next-generation of artificial and machine intelligence. DesignCon will host several new products and services by the top companies powering in-demand devices.
“As the economy begins to favor chips and semiconductors again in 2020, DesignCon represents a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with leading companies succeeding in the market with their innovative products and services,” said Suzanne Deffree, brand director, DesignCon. “In addition to the numerous networking sessions, DesignCon is the ideal forum to learn about the newest trends and opportunities in the electronics today.”
Company announcements at DesignCon 2020 include:
Altair (booth 223) to showcase its comprehensive solution for PCB design automation and manufacturing verification as part of its recent acquisition of Polliwog.
