The event is the fall's must-attend forum for electronics engineers, and offers "Knowledge in Real Time" -- networking, innovations, training, and racing ... all in real time. ESC Boston is gaining momentum as the popularity of its top level exhibitors, training program, keynote presentations, and special events are contributing to a significant increase in early registration -- currently tracking 100 percent ahead year over year, and projected to contribute to a 30 percent increase in attendance at this year's event. Attendees will meet product experts from the industry's leading companies, network with peers, get up-to-the-minute technical training, participate in Sun Java Real Time-enabled slot car racing, and the first 2000 attendees will receive a FREE USB-based eZ430 MSP430 MCU Development Kit from Texas Instruments. "Participating in ESC Boston means showcasing all of our latest digital and analog technology to the world's most inventive engineering minds," said Cornelia Huellstrunk, Advanced Embedded Control Developer Marketing, Texas Instruments. "In the fall timeframe, you can't get a bigger gathering of electronics and embedded systems engineers, so this is the place where we debut and display our newest innovations." "We have made significant investments in the event and it is clear that Embedded Systems Conference is respected by visitors and exhibitors alike," said Paul Miller, senior vice president and group publisher of CMP Technology's Electronics and Software Development Groups.
