Press Releases

We encourage you to issue press releases prior to the Summit, to help raise visibility and awareness for your company, products and technologies. Following is a brief Summit description (boilerplate) that you can use in your press releases:

The FPGA Summit is the only practitioner-oriented conference dedicated entirely to Field Programmable Gate Arrays.  The Summit provides attendees with current information on this increasingly widely used alternative to ASICs, custom chips, custom interfaces, processors, and multi-chip logic sequences.  It features tutorials, workships, paper and panel sessions, expert table sessions, keynotes, and exhibits.  Attendees gain practical up-to-date knowledge on when and how to use FPGAs, how to develop and apply them cost-effectively, and how the technology is likely to evolve.  Subjects include reconfigurable computing, verification, DSP applications, mil/aero applications, low-power design, market research, and design tips.

If you would like us to post your press releases to the FPGA Summit website, please email your releases in PDF format to:

Press Room

The designated Summit Press Room will be Salon C.  You can place press kits there.  You can use the Room for meetings with media/analysts, but we cannot guarantee privacy, as the room will be open for media, analyst, and staff walk-in traffic.
