I’m sure there are very few people in EDA marketing departments with the time to read blogs this week, never mind write one - about 96 hours from now the show floor of DAC will open in San Francisco and all their work for the past six months will be front and center. (No one really thinks about DAC seriously until January is out of the way.)
Anyway, the pressure is off Xuropa. Being online and available globally 24/7 definitely has its advantages 
We won’t have a booth, but we will be there walking the floor talking to vendors and users about what we could do to help their business or experience on the Xuropa Platform. If you see me walking the floor I’d love to hear your feedback - it’s a great opportunity to meet people that have a passion for EDA, SaaS, and the future of the business of the semiconductor design industry.
If we don’t bump into each other on the exhibition floor (or at the Denali Party), stop by the ChipEstimate booth (#1100) at the below times. The Cadence Verification IP team will be presenting their products and providing attendees the ability to use the products for themselves on the show floor - using their Xuropa Online Labs.
They haven’t had to worry about installing PC’s and testing them just before the exhibit opens. Everything is all ready to go and sat up on the Xuropa Platform. They’ll be using the ChipEstimate PCs with just a browser on the day. Of course, once the show is over the demos will still be available 24/7 for anyone in the world to continue to go into the Lab and trial Cadence products - a beautiful thing.
So, here are the times. Susan Peterson will be presenting and I’ll be stood in the wings to answer any questions and get feedback during the demo sessions.
- Monday at 2pm
- Tuesday at 2pm
- Wednesday at 1pm
- Thursday at 10:30am
Enjoy the show, and hope to see you there!
