From the floor of CDNLive! 2008 - San Jose

Wow! What an exciting, power packed, and full day - and, it's still going!!

Michael Catrambone (Steering Committee Chairman, UT Starcom, Inc.) and Ted Vucurevich (Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer Advanced Research & Development) delivered Welcome remarks.

Here's a picture of us gathering for the Welcome addresses and of Ted during his presentation -

The Keynote Address - "Workloads of the Future"- was delivered by Dr. Jan Rabaey, Donald O. Pederson Distinguished Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California at Berkeley.

There were 6 PCB Design track customer and Cadence presentations I attended today, 2 PCB Design demos, and the Cadence 20 year Celebration will begin about 8:30 tonight.

Here's a few pictures from my presentation I delivered, attendees at the presentation settling in, and networking time ....

I can't tell you what a thrill it was for me to be able to present my paper topic today - "Allegro Design Entry HDL, User Customizations". Working with customers who continue to employ innovative techniques to drive our products is a rewarding part of working in Customer Support.

I've met some old customer friends and many new customers today. The networking if terrific and CDNLive! 2008 San Jose has already proven to be a worthwhile experience - and again, it's only the FIRST day.

The Cadence 20 Year Celebration included entertainment in the evening from our own Cadence Chad Tuckers Band -

If you can still swing by Wednesday or Thursday - please don't hesitate. There are many more customer and Cadence presentations that will demonstrate exciting capabilities, innovative techniques, and challenges conquered employing our products and solutions.

I look forward to seeing you!!
