About DAC

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for
the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community
representing more than 1,000 organizations attends each year, from system
designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD
managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from
leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions selected by a committee of
electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends,
management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A
highlight of DAC is its Exhibition and Suite area with approximately 200 of the
leading and emerging EDA, silicon, IP and design services providers. The
conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the
Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium), and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and is supported by ACM's Special
Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA) and IEEE's Council on Electronic
Design Automation (CEDA), Circuits and Systems Society (CASS), and
