For more than three decades, SNUG Silicon Valley has connected engineers, designers, and thought leaders with technical experts to network and share best practices for tackling design and verification challenges using Synopsys technologies.
The Call for Content invites you to showcase how you are developing tomorrow’s products today with Synopsys solutions.
This year, in addition to our traditional SNUG program, we are excited to welcome Ansys users to the March 2026 event, which will also feature topics aligned with Simulation World as part of our expanding content offerings and growing community. As a SNUG presenter, you will increase your visibility among peers in the Synopsys user community and, in addition to professional recognition, be eligible for awards (please review your company’s gift acceptance policy to determine eligibility).
