IPextreme Leverages New DAC 2014 Focus on IP

IPextreme and Constellations partners take active roles in nascent IP Track and other programming at the 51^st Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California

Campbell, Calif. – May 13, 2014 – IPextreme, Inc. today announced extensive involvement in the 51st annual Design Automation Conference (DAC), which will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California from June 1 – 5, 2014. The company and its Constellations™ constituents will participate to an unprecedented level in support of DAC’s new initiative to broaden the traditionally EDA-centric conference’s focus to include an emphasis on semiconductor intellectual property (IP).

“It’s encouraging to see DAC making a concerted effort to give IP a greater share of the spotlight,” said McKenzie Mortensen, Director of Marketing, IPextreme. “Customers rely on both EDA and IP companies to bring their products to market—it is only logical to offer them a more well-rounded body of content, thereby enabling the conference to accurately reflect the landscape of the industry. In my capacity as DAC IP Technical Program Committee Co-Chair, I have seen first hand the high caliber submissions from IP providers around the world, all of whom are eager to come together to deliver a top-notch conference program. It’s going to be a fantastic show.”

“We look forward to seeing our customers and partners at DAC this year,” said Warren Savage, President and CEO, IPextreme. “With more IP providers and content than ever before, it is a great opportunity for everyone to take a fresh look at the conference. This is not the same old DAC—I think everyone will really appreciate the additions to the show.”
