IP - ESC 2009 (IP-Embedded Systems Conference) will be the 18th edition of the working conference on hot topics in the design world, focusing for the past 8 years on IP-based SoC design, held in the renowned Silicon Valley of the French Alps.

This event has grown regularly and the last edition in December, IP08, despite a depressed market, attracted over 400 attendees, mainly engineering managers. The satisfaction level of the attendees is impressive due to well focused, high level panels, sessions and seminars. Over the year IPs have become Subsystems or Platforms and thus as a natural extension IP 09 will be combined with Embedded Systems Conference to become IP–ESC 2009 addressing a continuous technical spectrum from IP to SoC to Embedded System. This will definitively leverage the participation in this new combined forum for attendees facing travel restrictions. This offers a fantastic opportunity to bring two well established brands together and deliver an even better event for delegates and vendors.
