On the Road Again - CDNLive! San Jose

September 08, 2007

For several years I somehow managed not to attend any conferences.  Today, I'm getting ready to fly to San Jose (with a quick jump up to Seattle for the weekend) for conference number four - CDNLive!.  The conference program looks interesting, and I'll get to staff part of the Cadence IPCM Partner booth on Tuesday evening.  If it wasn't already obvious from the name of the conference, this required question from the online registration form pretty much sums up what I expect to learn this week:

Which company do you believe is best at delivering inventive solutions that enable you to achieve breakthrough results?

Uh... Cadence?  :-).  I hope to have the opportunity to meet those of you who plan to attend.  As I mentioned earlier, I'll be at the Cadence IPCM Qualified Partners booth on Tuesday evening to answer questions about Verilab and to give away ~4-5 copies of David Robinson's excellent new book, Aspect Oriented Programming with the e Verification Language.  Luckily for me, the book is travel friendly and I was able to fit a stack in my carry on luggage.   

By the way, in case your curious, here are the sessions I'm tentatively planning on attending:
