What is the Renesas DevCon 2010 conference?
DevCon is an exclusive four-day environment of valuable technical information exchange specifically created for embedded design engineers and engineering management.
At DevCon, you’ll experience personalized direct and interactive access to Renesas’ technology, experts and partners from around the world. This year’s theme, "Solutions for Innovation", is to set the direction for DevCon’s content development to ensure it provides you with technical information and solutions to help bring your innovation to market faster.
You can select from over a hundred hours of lectures and hands-on labs on an array of technologies and application topics. You’ll also find some design answers in the solutions-filled exhibit hall with over 75 informative demonstrations and show-exclusive offerings on tools and development kits.
On the first afternoon of the conference, you can also participate in discussions at the various topical interactive panels and sit to discuss hardware and software tools solutions with Renesas’ top technologists in the "Meet the Experts" sessions.
The conference’s registration fee of $995 covers all panel, lab and lecture sessions you want to attend as you set up your own personalized schedule, as well as meals, exhibit hall access, peer-to-peer networking events, keynote address, show specials and a highly anticipated presentation by Popular Mechanics’ editor-in-chief, James Meigs. And of course, with the hotel only a couple miles from Disneyland, you can come for the conference and stay for the magic with special DevCon pricing on Disneyland park tickets.
