The Year That Was: Knowledge Booster Training Bytes — Highlights from 2023

Happy New Year!

As we begin our journey in 2024, let's take a moment to look back at our most-viewed blogs of 2023. In this special blog, we'll provide an overview of the major accomplishments from the year.

During this year, we published 14 more Knowledge Booster blogs to keep you up-to-date with the new and enhanced Virtuoso features.

We are also proud that we could offer 6 webinars related to different topics. If you have missed any of our webinars or would like information about our upcoming ones, visit the Cadence Training website.

If you would prefer in-person training, we are happy to welcome our customers to one of our Cadence offices for a Live Training from our experienced engineers. We can also organize a Blended Training, if that works better for you.
