Next Week’s CEO Outlook to Gaze at the Future, Bask in Industry’s Vitality

The spectacular news this week from the ESD Alliance’s Market Statistics Service (MSS) that revenue increased 18.9 percent for Q4 2016 will be an exclamation point to next week’s CEO Outlook.

For example, revenue for Q4 in all four geographic regions –– Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Japan and Asia/Pacific –– increased 18.9 percent for Q4 2016 to $2455 million, compared to $2064.5 million in Q4 2015. All product categories saw fourth-quarter growth. In fact, CAE, Semiconductor IP, IC Physical Design & Verification and PCB/MCM reported double-digit increases. Another positive sign is employment is up 6.6% overall.

CEO Outlook attendees can expect to hear much more about industry opportunities for growth and challenges as Ed Sperling, editor-in-chief of Semiconductor Engineering, moderates the panel of four of our most visible CEOs and Alliance Board Members. They are: Aart de Geus, CEO at Synopsys, Lip-Bu Tan, president and CEO of Cadence, ARM’s CEO Simon Segars and Wally Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics and board sponsor for the MSS.

The CEO Outlook will be held Thursday, April 6, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:45 p.m. at Synopsys in Mountain View, Calif. Each panelist will offer an opening statement about the future of the industry, share their views on industry trends (including the latest revenue increase), and identify potential opportunities and challenges. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions during an interactive audience-driven Q&A session.

The evening is open free of charge to all ESD Alliance member companies. A private reception for ESD Alliance members only to network with speakers will begin at 5:30 p.m. Non-members are invited to attend for a fee of $25. Dinner and drinks will be provided. More details and registration information can be found at: http://bit.ly/2ocTWFS. Please register today because seating is limited.
The complete quarterly MSS report, containing detailed revenue information broken out by both categories and geographic regions, is available to ESD Alliance members only and considered an invaluable resource. However, a news release with an overview of revenue by product category and region is available at: http://bit.ly/2mNlTXJ
