Synopsys at DAC 2009  
Conversation Central 

You’re invited to join a series of interactive discussions at “Conversation Central,” a kitchen table-style meeting room located at Synopsys Booth 1120.

Conversation Central is the place to talk, listen, learn, and exchange ideas about how social media is changing the media landscape, influencing the employment market, and impacting business practices in cyberspace. The conversations will also help you learn how to blog, understand and engage with Twitter, and provide an informal venue to chat with "celebrity" bloggers.

Open to all DAC participants, Conversation Central will feature a new 30-minute discussion topic every hour throughout the first three days of the conference. The topics will be repeated at the same time each day. The conversations will be led by well-known EDA bloggers, multiple social media experts, and experienced journalists.

Unscripted. Unrehearsed. Join us at Conversation Central and be a part of the conversation!
