CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2024

CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2024 was a notable event recently held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, drawing a diverse crowd of users, developers, and industry experts. This annual conference showcases the latest advancements in electronic system design and semiconductor technologies.

The event featured a range of activities, including visionary keynotes from prominent figures such as Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, and Anirudh Devgan, CEO of Cadence. These keynotes delved into cutting-edge trends and innovations in AI, semiconductor technology, and electronic design.

In addition to the keynotes, CadenceLIVE included numerous user presentations and technical sessions. These presentations covered solutions for current design challenges, with topics ranging from advanced silicon technologies to mixed-signal design.

The event provided an opportunity for people from across the tech industry to learn from one another through peer-to-peer user presentations, interactions with Cadence experts, and conversations at the Designer Expo.

“Attendance at CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley was impressive and we personally spoke with many more customers than last year about Cadence Training.” said Angie Hathorn and Nunio Villegas from Education Services in North America, who were at the event in person to meet with customers again this year.

Customers took the opportunity to learn about Training innovations and express their enthusiasm for the Cadence Online Training program, which has remained free of charge for Support customers beyond COVID—for which Cadence Training earns a lot of praise.

With such positive customer feedback, it’s safe to say that Cadence Training communication resonates with customers and that Training is an important and accelerating wheel for users when it comes to upskilling, updating, and gaining technical expertise.

At CadenceLIVE we spoke to many customers about the latest innovation, Bridging the Learning Gap.

In today’s fast-paced technological world, learning or skill gaps are a real and recurring challenge.

There is a very strong and real need for well-trained engineers in the semiconductor design industry, and whether you’re a new hire, a recent graduate, or an engineer changing jobs, you’ll need to become productive fast.

What’s Your Gap?

Being aware of a gap is one thing. Having access to efficient and well-structured solutions is another. And we wouldn't be Cadence if we didn't help you do something about it.

Cadence Training has designed two new programs to bridge your learning gaps and to help you quickly become one of the skilled talents in the industry:

Bridging the Learning Gap

The Onboarding Curricula contains six training recommendations for Custom IC/Analog/RF Design,  PCB Design, and Digital Design.

Please be aware that you can gain your single digital badge for almost all single courses assigned to this Onboarding Curricula.

Speaking now about the Tech Domain Certification Programs, which contains Training collections for specific design domains – a student can take the collection of courses for a specific technology domain and claim one badge per course as well as an additional digital badge for that specific domain.

At the moment, this program is available for Digital Design and Verification, but there are more to come shortly!

For those who missed the in-person event, CadenceLIVE offers an on-demand site that provides access to recorded sessions and additional resources. This hybrid approach ensures that the insights and innovations shared at the conference are accessible to a broader audience.
