ESC Program Highlights:

The marquis event of the new CMP TechMash Boston, the 2007 Embedded Systems Conference will for the first time offer attendees from more then 35 countries the opportunity to register to earn university credits for courses taken at ESC through an innovative partnership with the University of California (UC) San Diego. Emphasizing the high quality content and instructors participating in the program, the UC San Diego Extension Embedded Software Engineering Specialized Certificate is a series of courses that emphasizes the programming as well as the relevant hardware knowledge embedded engineers must be familiar with.

The conference will maintain its high standard of providing attendees with access to product experts from the industry's leading companies, valuable networking opportunities and entertaining live events and free programming such as:

     hybrid by the California Cars Initiative

  Commentary:

"Embedded systems are the backbone of the increasingly dominant Web 2.0 world and practitioners should therefore be equipped with the latest engineering techniques available to keep pace with this rapidly evolving market," said David Blaza, Publisher Embedded Systems. "CMP's goal is to provide attendees of this year's Embedded Systems Conference Boston with our most ground-breaking and hands-on program yet to inspire them to take their endeavors to new heights by granting them applicable skills that will provide a competitive advantage."

"No other conference offers attendees the opportunity to see first-hand so many of the latest embedded systems technologies in one location," said Rich Nass, Editor in Chief & Conference Chair. "From our engaging and interactive conversions and tear downs to our packed exhibit floor, systems engineers and architects will leave the conference with a deeper understanding of embedded systems that only a live event of this nature can provide."
