"Hier Design attends DAC because it is the #1 show in EDA. Beyond just lead generation, we learn a great deal from interacting with our customers, partners and competitors. It is also our
one big chance per year to project a strong corporate image to a diversity of designers, managers, bankers, analysts, press, and other important industry influencers."

"DAC is a great event and its organizer -- MP Associates -- does a fantastic job. I am still amazed how such a small team managed to get all the pieces to come together so nicely. At the

"DAC is the premier industry event for EDA tools and technology, and now increasingly for Design IP solutions as well. We all recognize that DAC is the clock that we use to synchronize our
products, technology and messaging. It's the only event that we can count on to draw customers in search of new and emerging technology for their chip design efforts."

"DAC is the premier opportunity to team with our partners and jointly provide in-depth technical presentations. In this environment, answers can be given on the spot within a broad range
of topics. Personally, my full schedule of meetings at DAC with key customers, industry analysts and editors always rekindles my enthusiasm for the EDA community."
Alain Labat

economy and the importance of debug in general, more than ever DAC provides us with a significant return on investment."

"Design engineers have a tough job. They need in-depth technical information on emerging issues and potential solutions and have very little time to gather it. DAC is one place where they
can get that information quickly. For Magma, it's a great place to show design engineers how we can help them get their job done, get immediate feedback and get input on their future requirements."

our DAC suite gives us the most consolidated week of the year for scheduling productive meetings. We use DAC to update our customers on the latest system design tools and technologies resulting
in better productivity for our customers and more business for Celoxica."

"2003 was Jasper Design Automation's first DAC and we were very pleased with the huge volume of serious, qualified buyers who crowded into our booth. DAC was the perfect venue to introduce
our unique functional formal verification solutions that tackle large designs and prove complex requirements. We were able to reach our target audience and demonstrate how JasperGold delivers tremendous
productivity gains, unprecedented quality and provably correct designs. Given the positive ROI - multiple sales generated from our DAC leads - we are looking forward to DAC 2004!"

"DAC offers Summit Design the perfect venue for demonstrating our market-leading new ESL tools and methodologies to a very technical, strategic and discriminating audience. It has proven to
be a great place to observe market trends and to gather insights on competitive and market forces. DAC also serves as the perfect venue for our corporate and engineering teams to meet a large number
of our customers in person, affording us the opportunity to share our plans and vision, and to get their valued feedback and blessings. Simply put, year after year, DAC is where EDA is re-inventing
itself."
Guy Moshe
