Any Tool. Any Scale. Any Time.
Driven by COVID-19 concerns, the SNUG Silicon Valley 2022 conference scheduled for March 30-31 in Santa Clara will now be conducted virtually in its entirety. Original plans were to conduct SNUG as a hybrid conference with both in-person and online participation. But with recent developments, and because the safety and well-being of conference participants is our priority, this change is appropriate.
This is of course disappointing as we were all looking forward to once again convening in person, but we believe moving to a fully virtual format is the right decision. And in some ways, little will change. SNUG will still take place on March 30-31, 2022 and will offer user presentations, keynote addresses, panels and tutorials.
The SNUG team remains committed to delivering an exciting conference, driven by the always innovative Synopsys community. Thank you and stay healthy.
To serve our virtual audiences, SNUG 2022 will once again feature a presentation-only format. Reflecting SNUG’s commitment to technical excellence, all conference user submissions are peer reviewed by the SNUG Technical Committee. If your proposal is accepted, a Technical Committee member will work with you to help you create and deliver an exceptional conference presentation.
1. Preliminary acceptance is based on the initial submission proposal and preliminary outline.
2. Final acceptance into the conference program agenda will be determined after the first draft of the presentation is complete, reviewed and approved by the Technical Committee.
The SNUG Technical Committee reviews and accepts submissions based on criteria that include:
All Content Submissions to SNUG Silicon Valley are Presentation-Only Format
Call for Content Opens | October 12, 2021
Call for Content Closes | Extended to December 8, 2021
Preliminary Acceptance Notification | December 17, 2021

SNUG presentations should be no more than 25 minutes in length. Your SNUG presentation should be a “discussion” rather than a “reading” of the outline. While you should cover the same key points which appear in your outline and slide presentation, SNUG attendees will be most interested in hearing you describe your techniques, approach, and supported conclusions.
The SNUG team will communicate specific details and presentation times after final acceptances are made.
