Technical Program Committee
The Technical Program Committee is responsible for solicitation and selection of conference papers, plenary panels, and session chairs. As the organizers and reviewers of the technical content, the Technical Program Committee has primary responsibility for the equality of the DesignCon technical program. Candidates for the Technical Program Committee are proven technical contributors in the fields covered by DesignCon. Active participation by committee members ensures a high-quality, well-targeted, and timely program.
