DAC 2013
Similar attendance as previous DAC at Bay Area Thank all of you! Brian Bailey remarked in EE Times, “There was a lot of speculation
leading up to DAC about the effectiveness of holding the conference in Austin. … Now we have the official numbers and … DAC was a success by every measure you can think of” (B. Bailey, “DAC in Austin: Success or Failure,” EE Times, blog, 11 June 2013).
CEDA Newsletter A primary reason for DAC’s success was the grassroots work of the IEEE
Central Texas CEDA Chapter (led by Zhuo Li), the Design Automation Technical Committee (led by Chuck Alpert), and the IEEE Central Texas Sec-tion (led by Kenny Rice). … they formed the Austin Local Commit-tee, which made it their mission to bring new people to DAC from Central Texas. They worked tirelessly, promoting the Designer Track, helping form the Designed in Texas part of the program, and holding promotions at different to sign designers up for the DAC show.
2,354 exhibitor-only attendees that showed up at DAC. 60 percent of those at DAC were attending the conference for the first time. So successful, and plan to form a local committee in Bay Area to promote 2014
