DATE proclaims move to Dresden a success

Mike — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 10:04:13 +0000

The organisers of DATE10 say they are delighted with the results of this year’s event in Dresden. In addition to 1,300 attendees to the conference, a further 625 visitors attended the exhibition only. This represents another show reporting good numbers, and reinforces the fact that Germany remains the show capital of Europe for our industry.

The conference attracted attendees from 39 Countries. Germany accounted for a quarter of the attendees, followed by USA, France and – perhaps surprisingly – China.

DATE 2011 will take place from 14th to 18th March 2011 in Grenoble, Switzerland.

Record submissions for DATE 2010

Despite the recent gloomy news about trade show attendance, it is clear that companies in our sector still believe that events are a great promotional vehicle. The organisers of DATE 2010, which will be held from 8th to 12th March in the Dresden Congress Centre, Germany, have announced a record number of submissions for the event, with 980 papers submitted for consideration. Hopefully this is a sign of confidence, not only in conferences and trade shows, but also in the likelihood of recovery for both the industry and the economy in general.

Electroniques reveals Editors in Chief

François Gauthier has been named as Editor in Chief of the new publication Electroniques, which was formed by merging Electronique and Electronique International. His responsibilities start with the first issue of 2009, due to be published on 20th January.

At the same time, Pascal Coutance has been named Editor in Chief “délégué”, responsible for the development of the Electronique.biz website. Pascal has been charged with development of other online channels, such as mobile and introducing new advertising formats. Interesting he will also define a strategy for for new products that are either chargeable as premium content or reserved for magazine subscribers. We’re promised an updated site will be launched at the start of 2010.

It’s taken a little while to get these two editorial positions confirmed, although I don’t read anything into this delay. I am, however, interested that there are clear plans to put some kind of paywall around content on the web, and wonder how easily this can be done. By limiting people who can access content, you’re going to limit page – and therefore advertising – impressions, so any such move must be made with care, otherwise it could end up reducing, rather than increasing overall revenue.

IEF sets date for 2010

Future Horizons, organiser of the International Electronics Forum (IEF) has announced that the 2010 event will be held from 5th to 7th May 2010 in Dresden, Germany. With so much changing happening in the industry, and hopefully some solid signs of recovery, the 2010 event should be a great success.

Call for panel proposals – DATE 2010

Mike — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:56:04 +0000

The organisers of DATE 2010 have issued a call for panel proposals. Panels should discuss future trends, hot-topic technologies and business aspects of the embedded systems, embedded software, Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip, EDA, ASIC, FPGA and IP. The organisers also promise that the panels combine invited academics and industry experts for a more controversial look at the electronic design research and marketplace. Submissions must be made via the DATE website by 6th September 2009. The show will be held from 8th-12th March 2010 at the ICC in Dresden, Germany.

Date registration numbers

Mike — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:44:19 +0000

Date have announced the following stats for registrations this year:

Conference: 1415 [Including Monday Tutorials & Friday Workshops]
Exhibition: 1039 [Visitors & Exhibitor Personnel - Not including Conference Attendees]
International Press: 12

This gives a total of 2466 registrations for the event. This isn’t a bad result, given the economy, although it falls way short of the optimistic predictions of 5000 visitors made back in February.

DATE joins with ARTEMISIA to boost attendance

Mike — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:07:04 +0000

This year Design, Automation & Test in Europe (DATE) will join with the ARTEMISIA Association to stage a joint conference to be held in Nice, France on 20th to 24th April 2009. , with the aim of achieving more than 5,000 attendees. This makes a lot of sense. Although focused conferences like DATE continue to attract high-quality delegates, the trade show industry remains fragile. Although there is by no means complete overlap, I’m sure that the synergies between DATE and ARTEMISIA will ensure the success of this joint venture.
