"The conference
offered a great opportunity for industry and academia to interact in a
relaxed manner that facilitated an exchange of ideas and thoughts on SoC
technology. On the one hand, the presenters were challenged with
questions that reflected both industry trends as well as academic
interests. On the other hand, attendees gained an in-depth knowledge of
SoC technologies in a very short period."

“I found at the SOC
Conference a good collection of opinions and insights into the issues of
implementing custom logic in PLDs, Structured ASICs or Standard Cells.
It was always possible to 'buttonhole the speaker and gain further
insights.’ This wide-open field has no clear winner today, but many
claimants and a fast-moving technology that satisfies both the technical
requirements and the business needs.”

Lane Mason, Director of Engineering, Denali.

“Savant's SoC
conference provided outstanding insights on the latest SoC technology.
It also provided a terrific opportunity to connect with professional
colleagues.”

"1st SoC is a refreshing departure from previous SoC conferences. In
addition to the standard coverage of design tools, 1st SoC covered a
comprehensive range of topics, including analog, logic, memory, and
microprocessor issues. The presenters and the audience included
representation from IDMs, fabless chip-makers, system OEMs, covering a
spectrum of custom, programmable, and standard solutions, and a variety
of suppliers to all of them, such as foundries, SIP suppliers, and tool
companies. It was very well done. I look forward to 2nd SoC."
— Mike
Timlin, Vice President, Sales, Palmchip Corporation.

"I'm very glad I
attended the SoC conference. It was an excellent networking opportunity
for everyone involved with system-on-chip technology and business. I met
high level contacts at prominent technology companies."
— Christie
Brockhage, Regional Manager, Business Wire.
