I personally found it nice to be able to visit with companies with products outside my area of expertise. As an example - I went to a Magma demo for Talus. Sadly - I was the only one there and couldn't ask any intelligent questions of the presenters. But had there been others present I would have been able to learn from the insights of engineers in a field I would otherwise have very little reason to communicate with. Interesting though.

EDA is almost wholly focused on the issue of verification now, not the process of design. And it's become much more of a service industry thatn a product industry. Going forward, DAC should focus on what the industry does best. ESL belongs in accelerated computing and embedded systems conferences, DFM belongs at Semicon, and DVCon and DAC should merge. The industry has trifurcated. This report might be a perfect description of what is wrong/right with EDA now. EDA is almost wholly focused on the issue of verification now, not the process of design.
