A Look at the High Profile Speakers Presenting at #DAC2026

Many of us think of DAC as an important trade show for the Semiconductors and EDA industries. That is certainly part of the history of DAC, but the event is also a highly prestigious technical conference dating back to 1964. In fact, the exhibits at DAC began 20 years after the conference started. That long history as a premier technical… Read More
