Call for Tutorials
DVCon is the premier conference on the application of languages, tools, and methodologies for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. The focus of the conference is the usage of specialized design and verification languages such as SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, PSS, SystemC and e, as well as general purpose languages such as C, C++, Python, PERL and Tcl. Tools and methodologies include the use of machine learning, open-source software, hardware and architecture, testbench automation, hardware-assisted verification, hardware/software co-verification, formal verification, functional safety and security, transaction-level system design, high level synthesis, low power design techniques, 3D chip designs, IP-based SoC design methods, reference flows and AMS design and verification.
DVCon is seeking tutorial topics that are current, have a high-level of interest and offer strong continuing educational content.
Tutorial sponsors reach a captive audience during the 90min of educational sessions and have the opportunity to follow-up with them during breaks, at the exhibits, and following the event.
DVCon is a highly targeted venue for engineers addressing major design and verification issues. You can position your company at the forefront of these discussions by sponsoring either of the Tutorials listed below. Submit proposals by June 30th 2022.
DVCON SPONSORED TUTORIAL: 2,50,000/-
Sponsorship Includes:
- 90 min technical presentation
- Copy of the Sponsored Tutorial Attendee List (email addresses included)
- Tutorial content will be publicized via monthly newsletters, DVCon website, Conference Program and in the Opening Session presentation slides
- Other promotional items like banners, flyers, gift items, etc. can be distributed at the event.
- Presenters for the tutorial are entitled to a complimentary one-day registration
- 6 complimentary one-day registrations for the tutorial presentation
Sponsored tutorials will be reviewed and approved by the program committee with respect to technical depth and applicability. In case of multiple organizations presenting a sponsored tutorial only the organizing company would get the sponsorship benefits mentioned above.
