ESD Alliance CEO Outlook

Next Tuesday afternoon, May 18, at 2:00pm PDT is the annual CEO Outlook meeting. It will be virtual, of course. But as a result, it seems to have a lot more CEOs than can easily fit onto a small stage. Ed Sperling will moderate. The CEOs are:

Arm—Simon Segars
Cadence—Lip-Bu Tan
IC Manage—Dean Drako
PDF Solutions—John Kibarian
Real Intent—Prakash Narain
Siemens IC EDA—Joseph Sawicki
Silvaco—Babak Taheri
Synopsys—Aart de Geus

I don't think the event was held last year, due to an event that certainly wasn't in the outlook from any of the CEOs who took place in the event two years ago, namely a worldwide pandemic. You can read my take on that outlook panel in my post ESD Alliance CEO Outlook: The Leading Edge, Chiplets, Design Costs, Security, and More. I plan on covering the event again this year, so look for a post sometime towards the end of the month.

If you want to see my "outlook", I wrote three posts at the start of the year with my predictions:

• Breakfast Nibbles 2021: Predictions for the Year, part 1
• Breakfast Nibbles 2021: Predictions for the Year, part 2
• Breakfast Nibbles 2021: Predictions for the Year, part 3

Registration for the event is free if the company you work for is a member of the ESD Alliance or SEMI, which it probably is ($15 otherwise). To register, either go to the SEMI page on the event or click the register button below.
