Design Automation Conference (DAC 60)

About DAC

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design and design automation of electronic chips to systems.  DAC offers outstanding training, education, exhibits and superb networking opportunities for designers, researchers, tool developers and vendors. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 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).

Members are from a diverse worldwide community of more than 1,000 organizations that attend each year, represented by system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives, and researchers and academicians from leading universities.

Over five days, DAC provides over 300 technical presentations and sessions that are selected by a committee of electronic design and university research experts offering information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies, and technologies in the electronics industry.

A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area with approximately 200 of the leading and emerging companies in:

• Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ ML)
• Automotive
• Design Services
• Design on Cloud
• Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
• Embedded Systems and Software (ESS)
• Intellectual Property (IP)
• Security/Privacy

The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 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).
