DesignCon 2027 in Santa Clara: where chip and board engineers meet

DesignCon returns to Silicon Valley as the must-attend gathering for engineers working on high-speed design, signal integrity and embedded systems. Over three days, the Santa Clara Convention Center hosts more than 190 exhibitors alongside the leading makers of electronic design tools, semiconductors and components. The technical program spans fifteen tracks with paper sessions, tutorials and panels led by engineers from companies such as Keysight, Intel, Samtec and Astera Labs. The expo floor opens Wednesday and Thursday with hands-on demos, the Chiphead Theater and networking spaces built for comparing technologies and closing deals. If you're traveling from outside the Bay Area, staying at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara or at hotels within walking distance of the venue keeps you close to every session and happy hour. The area also connects easily with San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland airports.
