DAC and RISC-V move in together at Moscone in December

RISC-V International and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) will co-locate their winter events at Moscone West in San Francisco in December 2021. Both events will feature hybrid in-person and virtual activities.

The aim of the RISC-V Summit is to bring together the open-source community for three days of deep technical talks, industry updates, networking, and more. While DAC annually brings together the community of industry, research, academia, and government to chart the changing nature of system and silicon design.

“Collaboration is one of our core values, so we’re excited to bring the community together at the RISC-V Summit to discuss and share the latest RISC-V products, research and innovations that are driving the industry forward,” said Calista Redmond, CEO of RISC-V. “By colocating with DAC and expanding our program to include both in-person and digital experiences, tech enthusiasts from around the world will have the opportunity to participate in the biggest RISC-V event of the year.”

Harry Foster, general chair of the 58th DAC, said, “The co-location of these events provides attendees with a centralized location that enables them to gain broader exposure and expand connections across the entire design ecosystem. We are pleased to partner with RISC-V and offer our attendees an even richer event experience.”

The RISC-V Summit will take place from Monday, December 6 to Wednesday, December 8, while hybrid DAC will take place from Sunday, December 5 to Friday, December 10, 2021. Both the RISC-V Summit and DAC will be held in Moscone West Hall. Both events are co-located together with SEMICON West 2021, which is being held Tuesday, December 7 to Thursday, December 9 at Moscone’s South Hall.

The 2021 DAC program is now live with registration opening September 7 whereas registration for the RISC-V Summit is now open.
