Richard Nass for TechInsights
"ESC Silicon Valley is a unique combination of hands-on technical training, exposition and networking. New to the technical program this year we will offer paid all access conference attendees the opportunity to Build Your Own Embedded Systems with an ARTiGO Builder Kit by VIA. Lots of conferences claim to offer 'hands-on' classes but ESC Silicon Valley takes that one step further by giving engineers a rare opportunity to configure their own equipment at the event and under the instruction of industry experts." Alp Sezen, Director of Embedded Division Americas Region, VIA Technologies, Inc. "ESC Silicon Valley is widely acknowledged as the leading show for the embedded industry largely due to TechInsights' innovative approach, and this year's unique training program to build an embedded platform with the VIA ARTiGO Builder Kit is an excellent example of this. We believe that the flexibility and rich media capabilities of our tiny VIA Pico-ITX board will help bring embedded development to life for all the attendees taking part, and highlight how simply and quickly developers can create and bring to market new product ideas for a wide range of embedded applications."
