The Mentor Graphics Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) 2010 is one of the world’s leading events for design engineers, engineering management and executives in the Automotive and Commercial Vehicles industry. This is a FREE event; however, seats are limited, so register soon.
The 10th IESF event will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, MI, on Thursday, March 18th, 2010.
IESF is a must-attend event for EE design professionals involved in:
- Electrical Systems Design
- System Modeling, Simulation and Analysis
- Wire Harness Design & Engineering
- Systems Integration
- AUTOSAR and Network Design
- PCB Design
Managers and engineers can explore issues; examine solutions, and network with peers while attending IESF's 25+ industry sessions, a solutions expo, roundtables and networking events.
IESF attracted attendees from every major Automotive, Commercial and Off-Highway Vehicle OEM and supplier last year. This year we expect the demand for registration to be even greater.
