- The General Session featured Markus Levy, President, EEMBC and the Multicore Association, who gave an insightful keynote titled "Making Multicore Work and Measuring its Benefits."
- "Power of One" was the theme for the morning which featured a tutorial on UPF (Unified Power Format).
- A highlight of the morning session was a lively panel discussion titled "Scaling the Power Wall." Moderated by Karen Bartelson from Accellera, the panelists from ArchPro Design Automation, Magma Design Automation, Mentor Graphics and Synopsys discussed the state of designing with power in mind and the need for further standardization.
- The afternoon breakout session on "Open Analog Standards" focused on open design contraints and Interoperable PCell Libraries, with presentations from Ciranova, Pulsic, and Silicon Canvas.
- As part of the "Open Analog Standards" session, Michael Santarini, from EDN Magazine, moderated an informative panel discussion called "IPL Now!" with representatives from AWR, Ciranova, Mentor Graphics, National Semiconductor, Silicon Canvas, Silicon Navigator, and Synopsys discussing how to break down interoperability barriers and accelerate innovation with Si2's OpenAccess database.
- Presentations on additional interoperability initiatives and formats covered topics including: Software Piracy and Liberty 2007.
