ESC has a long tradition of providing cutting edge information to its attendees. For many, these educational sessions are the reason they attend year after year.

This year, Netrino, a leader in training and engineering services for designers involved in next-generation of embedded systems, will present three sessions that promise to be both informative and highly entertaining. These sessions are open to all attendees (both ESC Conference and Expo attendees) and are held in the ESC Theater on the main conference floor.

Focusing on issues surrounding the implementation of custom microprocessor based electronics and related software for high-volume electronics products, each of the three one-hour sessions will give you a new perspective on key challenges you face.

Each session is 45 minutes in duration with a 15 minute Q&A.
