Register NowWelcome to IESF 2008
Mentor Graphics’ 7th Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF 2008) has become one of the world’s leading events for design engineers, engineering management and executives in the automotive industry. IESF 2008 is being held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Dearborn, Michigan, USA on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008. And, once again, IESF is a FREE event.
IESF has become a must attend event for anyone involved in Electrical Systems Design, Simulation and Analysis, Wire Harness Engineering, PCB Design, Embedded Distributed Systems, or Vehicle Network Design in the automotive, commercial or off-highway industry.
This year we have increased the number of breakout tracks to six, including a new one dedicated to Commercial Vehicles and Off-Highway EE Design. IESF is the only event that has a full track dedicated to wiring design and engineering issues in the automotive industry.
A full program of more than 42 industry sessions, six tracks of specialist topics, an industry panel, a solutions expo, and networking events offers managers and engineers the opportunity to explore issues, examine solutions, and network with peers.
Last year IESF attracted more than 300 attendees from every major automotive OEM and supplier; this year we expect the demand for registration to be even greater, so please register now.
