57th Design Automation Conference Names Industry Liaison Committee


Design Automation Conference (DAC), the premier event dedicated to electronic design and design automation of electronic systems, has named the members of the 57th DAC Industry Liaison Committee (ILC). These volunteers serve as intermediaries to ensure the EDA industry and DAC exhibitors have a vehicle to influence all areas of DAC including operations, program, promotions and exhibits. The ILC is made up of a balanced cross-section of industry representatives. The delegates serve as liaisons to their various constituencies at DAC by proactively communicating and soliciting input to help drive a DAC event that benefits all exhibitors. The ILC works closely with the DAC Executive Committee to ensure a positive and successful experience for both the exhibitors and attendees.

The 57th DAC will be held at Moscone West Center in San Francisco, CA (News - Alert) from July 19 - 23, 2020. DAC will co-locate with SemiCon West 2020, which is being held at the Moscone Center, North and South Halls, July 21 - 23, 2020.

"DAC has added several successful initiatives over the past two years, which has helped to grow the exhibits and enhance the attendee experience," said Rob van Blommestein, Industry Liaison Committee Co-Chair. "The success of the DAC exhibits year after year has been largely due to the work of the Industry Liaison Committee. This year's team of creative and talented industry professional will continue the path of success to make DAC in 2020 one of the best."
