Design Infrastructure Alley 2018 Speaking Schedule

Come Shape The Future of IT Infrastructure for Semiconductor at DAC 2018!

Be sure to join us at DAC in San Francisco from June 24-28.  You will be able to get access to the Design Infrastructure Alley simply by registering using the “I Love DAC” promotion which gives you FREE access to the show floor!

Three Days of Insightful, Thought-Provoking Content on Engineering IT Infrastructure Topics

This year’s DAC will have the Design Infrastructure Alley, a section of DAC devoted to the infrastructure required to design chips and systems.  The premise for the DIA is pretty simple:

Every year we get together at DAC to talk about new tools and new methods to create more complex chips and systems.  But we never talk about the infrastructure needed to use these new methods and tools.  The Design Infrastructure Alley bridges the gap between potential and execution and allows IT Professionals, Engineers and EDA Suppliers to have a conversation about how best to enable Design.

Below is the speaking schedule for this year’s Inaugural Design Infrastructure Alley.  We’re still working through some details regarding topic titles, and we do have one “surprise” guest which will be revealed soon.  All of these speakers will be at the Design on Cloud Pavilion on the main Exhibit Floor.  You can see the floorpan here to know where you’re going in advance.
