As a significant part of my job is supporting such events on behalf of Mentor Embedded, this tends to be a busy time.<\/p>\n<p>To make life challenging, I am shortly to be involved in 3 conferences, in different countries, all in the space of 2 weeks &#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Next week is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armtechcon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ARM Tech Con<\/a>, which takes place in Santa Clara, California. This event is now firmly established on the calendar and is always interesting. I have 2 papers to present, along with other meetings and a &#8220;meet and greet&#8221; session [Wednesday, 4pm at the Mentor Graphics booth, #201].<\/p>\n<p>The following week I will be going to Stockholm, Sweden for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.embeddedconference.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embedded Conference Scandinavia<\/a>, where I am also presenting 2 papers.

I will stay in 4 different hotels, use a rental car for some days and I guess a few taxi rides. When I am done, I look forward to a restful weekend away with my wife in Berlin.
