ACCESS influential electronic design engineers, managers, executives, and media The IEC team creates an integrated marketing plan with speaking, sponsoring, and exhibiting companies to ensure that DesignCon attracts its targeted attendance. DesignCon attracts a global audience from dozens of countries as well as a local Silicon Valley audience, which features the highest concentration of electronic design professionals in the world.
	DEMONSTRATE new technologies, products, services, and initiatives DesignCon is positioned as the first major event of its kind each year, making it a great platform for corporate messaging, new product announcements, and brand recognition and awareness. The practical, solutions-oriented nature of the event allows participants to hear about innovative case studies and design methodologies in the conference sessions and view corresponding hands-on demonstrations on the exhibition floor. The annual DesignVision Awards Ceremony honors the year's technologies, applications, products, and services judged to be the most unique and beneficial to the industry. Award-winning companies receive special recognition on the DesignCon exhibition floor and in a special media reception.
	CONNECT with current customers, partners, and OEMs A set of effective and convenient pre-show marketing tools are available for exhibitors to invite customers to their exhibit floor demonstrations and conference presentations. Through participation in the Educational Partner Program, exhibiting and sponsoring companies can bring groups of their clients, customers, and technology partners to DesignCon at a significant discount. This enables these attendees to learn the latest technology developments and solutions from their Educational Partner sponsor, effectively making DesignCon a unique customer event for a targeted client base.
	CREATE new business opportunities DesignCon features hundreds of organizations and thousands of representatives under one roof. The technical sessions, panel presentations, receptions, and exhibition activities provide numerous opportunities to network, strengthen existing relationships, and form new strategic alliances.
