The Designer Community Expo is a unique opportunity to meet Synopsys and its design community partners from across the electronics industry. Over 60 companies exhibited in 2011 as users networked with colleagues while enjoying food, drinks and some great prize drawings that were held throughout the evening.

SNUG thanks the members of the Technical Committee who volunteer their time and expertise to ensure SNUG’s technical quality, local perspective and value to the users of Synopsys tools and technology.
