Working on the 7th Globalpress Electronics Summit for 7 months I didn’t get the 7-year itch. Instead - I am proud to report that our event attracted yet again key electronics company CEOs, CTOs, GMs, VPs and director level speakers. Editors from 16 nations including China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, U. K., US, Nordic will yet again gather in San Francisco to get news, technology developments and corporate strategies from 22 companies. Considering the economic downturn in our industry this is only about 25% fewer companies compared to 2008. Having the trust, confidence and loyalty from companies like Altera, Xilinx, Mentor Graphics, Tensilica makes the hard work worthwhile. Finding new adopters for this editorial gathering like Microsoft Windows Embedded and start-ups like Global Unichip from Taiwan, Arctic Silicon Devices all the way from Norway, and Netronome from the East Coast proves that smart companies do invest in PR, even in tough economic times. The partnership with Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose adds another program element that will benefit exhibitors and the visiting editors alike.
My team and I will make this 7th year yet again a memorable, successful event for editors from around the world and executive speakers from leading and young companies – and none of them seems to have the 7-year itch either! Thank you all for your support.
