Premier Chips‑to‑Systems Event Heads to the World’s Innovation Capital
SAN JOSE, CALIF. – June 19, 2025 – DAC, the Chips‑to‑Systems Conference, and the leading global event for chip design, is delighted to announce that its 64th and 65th editions will be held in San Jose at the San Jose Convention Center. DAC 2027 is scheduled for July 10–16, 2027, followed by DAC 2028 on June 24–30, 2028.
For many years, attendees and exhibitors have advocated for bringing DAC to the heart of Silicon Valley—and now that vision is becoming reality.
Home to a dense concentration of semiconductor and software powerhouses, trail‑blazing startups, and world‑class research institutions, San Jose offers an unparalleled setting for collaboration across the design‑to‑system ecosystem. Staging DAC in this environment will encourage deeper industry engagement, spur new ideas, and accelerate innovation from chips through to complete systems.
Selecting San Jose underscores DAC’s commitment to evolving alongside the industry it serves. Locating the conference in the center of Silicon Valley connects participants with local talent and provides convenient access to DAC’s renowned technical program, groundbreaking research, inspiring keynotes, expansive exhibit floor, and industry‑defining panels. Both the 2027 and 2028 events will deliver the exceptional experience the DAC community expects—now set against the backdrop of the world’s most vibrant semiconductor hub.
Sponsor Support
IEEE CEDA and ACM SIGDA, the long-time sponsors of DAC, recognize that Silicon Valley is a strategic location that will foster breakthrough innovations by placing the event at the convergence of academic excellence and industry leadership that defines the field. The move is expected to energize the chip design community and attract the next generation of pioneers to experience DAC firsthand.
This year, DAC 2025 will be hosted June 22–25, 2025, at Moscone West Center in San Francisco, California. For more information on the 2025 DAC program and registration, please visit www.dac.com.
DAC 2026 will be hosted in Long Beach, California at the Long Beach Convention Center, July 25 – 29, 2026.
