SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Electronics, a UBM company and the daily source of essential business and technical information for the electronics industry's decision makers, today announced that ESC Silicon Valley 2011 (May 2 – 5, McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, California) has been expanded to better serve the professional development, training and information gathering needs of the electronics industry's embedded system designers, technologists and business leaders. Online registration for the event is underway now with early registration discounts of up to $500 available through March 25, 2011.

Co-located with TI Technology Day-San Jose and the 6th Annual Multicore Conference and Expo, ESC Silicon Valley includes an expanded theater presentation program sponsored by element14 that will deliver valuable engineering and business development content to a larger, more diverse audience. ESC Theater presentations include:

"ESC is focused on embedded systems designers and we are expanding the range of needs we serve for this audience," said Ron Wilson, editorial director of EDN & DesignLines and editor of EE Times. "The reviews of the two research studies will give designers a better feeling for how their peers approach their profession, and how their own and their peers' design practices compare. The speed-training sessions will give them an introduction to areas they might not have had time to think about, but need to learn. And the tear-downs are not only informative, but just plain fun."
