SAN FRANCISCO, CA –– September 25, 2023 –– The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the foremost event dedicated to electronic design and design automation of electronic circuits and systems, is thrilled to announce its executive committee for the upcoming 61st DAC in 2024.
Vivek De, Intel Fellow, and Director of Circuit Technology Research at Intel Labs has been appointed as the General Chair for the 61st DAC and joining him as the Vice Chair is Hai “Helen” Li, the Clare Boothe Luce Professor and Department Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Duke University. Under their esteemed leadership, the DAC Executive Committee (EC) will be at the helm of overseeing the exhibition, orchestrating the technical program, introducing innovative initiatives, and managing all conference operations and publicity.
The 61st DAC event will be held at Moscone West Center in San Francisco, CA, from June 23 - 27, 2024. The Call for Contributions for DAC 2024 will open on October 2, 2023. For detailed information, please visit DAC.com.
Vivek De shared his excitement, saying, "DAC has consistently been the trailblazer in innovation, catering to chip and system designers, academics, researchers, government officials, and the electronic design vendor community. While the event's core focus has traditionally been design automation, it has evolved to encompass broader aspects, including embedded systems, AI for design automation, AI hardware architecture and design, security, autonomous systems, and cloud computing. I am privileged to collaborate with this exceptional group of dedicated volunteers to plan and execute the 61st DAC and beyond."

About DAC
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for electronic design automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community representing more than 1,000 organizations attends each year, represented by system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area with approximately 175 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual property (IP) and design services providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer’s Council on Electronic Design Automation (IEEE CEDA).
