The EDA Consortium is moving into the future and you’re invited to help us celebrate at a launch party where we will unveil our new name, expanded mission and a new look.
Our wine and craft beer tasting evening with hors d’oeuvres will be held Wednesday, March 30, starting at 6:30 p.m. and running until 8:30 p.m. We’ll be at the EDA Consortium/SEMI Global Headquarters, 3081 Zanker Road in San Jose, Calif.
Many longtimers will remember when EDAC was formed in 1989 to address cross-industry issues and promote the EDA industry. It was the “go-go” years for electronic design automation that seemed never-ending and our tagline said it all: “Where Electronics Begins.” Lively EDAC events became the place to network. We became a co-sponsor of DAC in 1992. In 1994, the Market Statistics Service (MSS) reporting began. The Phil Kaufman Award was created that year as well and presented to Hermann Gummel, a Semiconductor and EDA industry pioneer.
