Practical Design Solutions Practical design-engineering solutions presented by practicing engineers—The DesignCon reputation of excellence has been built largely by the practical nature of its sessions. Design engineers hand selected by our team of professionals provide you with the best electronic design and silicon-solutions information available in the industry. DesignCon provides attendees with DesignCon has an established reputation for the high design solutions from peers and professionals. quality of its papers and its expert-level speakers from Silicon Valley and around the world. Each year more than 100 industry pioneers bring to light the design-engineering solutions that are on the leading edge of technology. This elite group of design engineers presents unique case studies, technology innovations, practical techniques, design tips, and application overviews. Who Should Attend Any professionals who need to stay on top of current information regarding design-engineering theories, The most complete educational experience techniques, and application strategies should attend this in the industry conference. DesignCon attracts engineers and allied The four conference options of DesignCon 2001 provide a professionals from all levels and disciplines.
