ESC Conference Tracks
In addition to the four Drive World conference tracks attendees will also have access to, ESC offers five distinct tracks:
Embedded Hardware Design & Verification
This track takes a look at the latest in low-power design, systems architecture, debug and test, security, sensors, FPGAs, MCUs, SOCs, and more to help you engineer more efficient products.
Embedded Software Design & Verification
A must for embedded systems developers, this track drills into the new thinking behind device drivers, open-source software, RTOS, security, code reliability, embedded Linux, C/C++, Python, and more.
IoT & Connected Devices
Learn how networks are growing, integrating, and improving the way we build and experience the world. Topics include architecture, firmware, RF protocols, application software, and security.
Advanced Technologies
AI, machine learning, blockchain, and others are reshaping the tech landscape. This track will take a closer look at what's coming next and help you understand how these innovations will impact your work.
Focus on Fundamentals
New this year — whether you're an early-career engineer or a seasoned embedded systems professional, you'll benefit from our refresher learning modules. Arm yourself with core hardware and software skills.
5 Standout Sessions at the Conference
The speaker list says it all with experts from Arm, IEEE, and Google. Below are five sessions not to miss at ESC.
A Deep Dive into Deep Learning
Deep learning, or AI, is an important piece of every processor and end application, including automobile safety systems, smartphones, and even microcontroller-based consumer devices. Learn the latest when it comes to sparse compute, spiking neural networks, and in-memory (analog) compute.
