For those in Silicon Valley and local to DVCon, I invite you to register for the FREE side of the conference, not just for the conference exhibition that will have (in evening hours) drinks and appetizers, but for the industry conversation that will be offered via panels and CEO keynote.\u00a0 The two panels will also feature Mentor Graphics speakers so you can learn our opinions on the topics as well.<\/p>\n

See you there!\u00a0 You can find us at our Mentor Graphics booth.\u00a0 We are booth 501<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 (P.S., if you cannot spare the time to attend but would like to see a running commentary on the sessions, panels and other happenings follow me on Twitter: @dennisbrophy<\/strong><\/a> or look for the conference hashtag #DVCon<\/strong><\/a>.)<\/p>\n
