ESC Silicon Valley 2011

Embedded Systems Conference (ESC)
Held in key strategic technology development worldwide, the Embedded Systems Conference is the global electronics industry`s leading event. With cutting edge product demonstrations, visionary speeches and hundreds of essential technical training classes and accreditation opportunities, ESC is the ideal venue for the design engineering community to learn, collaborate and recognize excellence. In addition, ESC celebrates decades of unique local electronics industry culture, innovation and significant contributions to the global technology industry.
Each year, hundreds of ideas and topics are submitted during the ESC call for submission process. This year we tried something different by asking our readers to submit topics under five broad categories. After review with the ESC Advisory Board and Track Chairs, the top session proposals that address the most relevant issues facing engineers and the industry are outlined below. Please review the categories and the tracks which will allow you to customize your educational experience.
