Final DAC Roundup: Spotting Trends and Catching Frisbees

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

Over the last few weeks, we’ve provided a look back at DAC from Breker, Jonah McLeod of Kilopass, and verification consultant Lauro Rizzatti. Today we wind up the series with some great insights and memories from five more DAC exhibitors.
