Do you know the way to San Jose?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
DesignCon is coming up in less than a month, February 1-4 in Santa Clara, CA (find your way to San Jose and turn left). This is a great show, and we at Mentor have put together some great sessions for you; and we have more than just technical content, we have some fun plans as well.
One of those fun things is a panel called “Science Fiction: Is It Really Fiction” Tuesday, February 2nd from 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm. While most of the programs are highly technical, this is technical…but will definitely be the most entertaining program on the schedule. My colleague Leslie Van Grove conceived the idea and organized the panel. She has some very interesting people lined up to participate.
Of course, we will also have several panels on technical topics too. Here’s the short list:
SiP and Advanced Packaging, Tuesday, February 2nd 3:45pm - 5:00 pm
Preparing RecommendationsChallenges of Applying Statistical Analysis Techniques in High Speed Serial Channel Design, Wednesday, February 3 from 3:45 pm to 5:00 pm
What engineers need to know about SERDES, SPICE and IBIS-AMI, Wednesday, February 3rd from 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm, Pat Carrier, presenting
In addition, Mentor is giving away a couple of nice prizes. Stop by our booth, 302, and register. The winner will be announced in this blog right after the show.
