Technology Leadership Awards Contest, You could win!
Technology Leadership Awards Contest, You could win!

Tags: Expedition, John Isaac, Technology Leadership, TLA, PADS, PCB Design
We have just announced our 22nd annual TLA contest. This is a Mentor program that recognizes PCB design teams for their innovative talents in overcoming today’s most challenging design problems. Last year we had entries from electronics companies, large and small, from 17 countries around the world and announced winners in 6 categories plus an overall. And we had winners from all three design systems: PADS, Board Station and Expedition Enterprise.
Being chosen as a winner by our industry expert and independent panel of judges can mean worldwide recognition for your company and the design team. We will announce the winners this fall in a worldwide webcast and if you desire, have on-site presentation ceremonies where you can invite your executive management. So I encourage you to enter at www.mentor.com/go/tla where you will find directions and hints as to what the judges look for in a winning entry. It is an easy process and if you need help, contact your local Mentor Application Engineer.
