Mentor User2User Virtual Event 2020!

Now that we have gone virtual, life has never been easier, for me anyway. There are literally events every day beamed into my living room. The question is which should I attend? The answer is I should attend the ones with the most customer-based content, which is what User2User is all about. I will miss attending this one live as it was in my backyard at one of my favorite locations and included some great food and camaraderie.

You for sure don’t want to miss industry legend Malcom Penn’s talk on “What’s in Store for the Chip Industry in 2021?”. Malcom and I do not always see eye to eye so this should be a spirited one for sure. I’m in the trenches and he is in the officers’ club so to speak.

Take a look at the agenda, put it on your calendar, and I will see you there. Work from home casual attire is recommended and since this is an international event cocktail hour is any hour so stock up the minibar and let’s enjoy the virtual day, absolutely.

User2User North America Info Sheet

Join the Mentor user community virtually at User2User for North America (November 10) and Europe (December 1).

For over 30 years, User2User has provided a forum for sharing best practices and discovering new techniques for tackling EDA’s biggest design challenges. This one-day virtual conference not only includes innovative keynotes from industry leaders, but a host of technical sessions as well as a chance to network with colleagues and industry peers. Thousands of engineers attend U2U events around the globe to hear how their peers are achieving design excellence with Mentor tools and to gain insight on the latest Mentor products.

The technical content at U2U is driven by Mentor tool users. Listen to your peers share their experiences and the solutions they employ when designing, developing, and deploying high-quality products across these domains:

• IC Design, Physical Verification, Circuit Verification and DFM
• Analog/Mixed-Signal Verification
• Functional Verification
• HW-Assisted Verification and Validation
• Design-for-Test, Bring-up and Yield
• High-Density Advanced Packaging Design and Verification
• Custom/Analog Design, MEMS and Silicon Photonics
• High-Level Synthesis and RTL Power Estimation/Optimization
• PCB System Design

Who Should Attend

Electronic design engineers and their managers interested in exploring innovative products and solutions that help engineers to solve design challenges in the increasingly complex worlds of board and chip design.

What to Expect
