EE Times Group Teams With Netrino to Develop Industry-Leading Conference Materials

EE Times Group, a UBM company and the daily source of essential business and technical information for the electronics industry's decision makers, today announced that it has teamed with Netrino, the world leader in firmware process and architecture consulting and training, as part of its continuing efforts to provide industry-leading training materials to the developers of embedded systems.

"This year, in addition to being a key instructor, Netrino founder and president Michael Barr will rejoin the Embedded Systems Conference Advisory Board, be a track chair for the ESC Silicon Valley and ESC Chicago events, and serve as chairman of ESC India," said Netrino Marketing Director Andrew Girson. "Barr's increased role in the conference planning process puts Netrino's extensive embedded systems design expertise at the disposal of EE Times Group."

Richard Nass, Director of Media/Content, EE Times Group added that, "Netrino has long been an important partner with EE Times Group. Prior to founding Netrino, Michael Barr served as editor-in-chief of Embedded Systems Design magazine. In addition, he writes the popular Barr Code column there and at Embedded.com and has been a top-rated speaker at the Embedded Systems Conferences for more than a dozen years."

In recent months, Netrino and EE Times Group have partnered to present paid webinars on Coding Standards and Multithreaded Programming. By focusing on high-quality content, the two companies have established that there is an audience of engineers willing to pay to attend traditionally-free webinars. The two companies plan to continue refining this emerging business strategy in the coming year.

ESC Silicon Valley takes place April 26 - 29 at McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, CA. To register go to http://www.embedded.com/sv.
