45th Design Automation Conference (DAC) a Success with Attendees and Exhibitors

The 45th Design Automation Conference (DAC) has attracted thousands to the Anaheim Convention Center this week. Preliminary numbers indicate total attendance has surpassed 8,000 so far this week, with attendees visiting the 215 exhibitors represented. The 45th DAC exhibits will be open through Thursday, June 12 from 9am to 1pm.

This year’s preliminary attendance figures break down into the following categories:

DAC Exhibit-only attendees:                                                                     2,405

DAC Technical conference (workshops, tutorials, etc.) attendees:                2,423

DAC Exhibitor personnel:                                                                         3,550

Preliminary total 45th DAC attendance:                                                     8,468

These numbers are very similar to last year. Final attendance numbers will be announced later this month and are expected to be slightly adjusted.

“The ballroom was packed, with people filling the aisles during the opening session and the keynote presentation by Justin Rattner, Intel, CTO,” said Limor Fix, general chair, 45th DAC Executive Committee. “The biggest challenges and opportunities of our industry - in the wireless market, analog design, sw/hw co-design, verification and manufacturing - are the topics of many of DAC’s well-attended sessions and events this year. Once again, DAC is the place where electronic design meets.”

The 46th DAC will be held July 26–31, 2009 in San Francisco.
