IESF is the place to be for big ideas, practical know-how, and innovative solutions to the thorniest EE design problems. For over 17 years, IESF has been at the forefront of automotive EE design innovation. The event's comprehensive program covers industry trends and challenges, best practices, product solutions and knowledge sharing.
"I have been coming to IESF Detroit for more than eight years, and it never disappoints," said Paul Hansen, The Hansen Report. "I am always on the lookout for where automotive electronics is heading, and each year IESF generously delivers an abundant choice of sessions and a lot of very interesting people to talk to and learn from."
Equally valuable is what happens outside of the session rooms. IESF presents outstanding networking opportunities and allows attendees the rare opportunity to meet face-to-face with the world's leading voices in electrical, electronic, and embedded software design.
IESF Registration is open and as always, free to attend. For more information on IESF, visit: www.mentor.com/iesf
