DesignCon Announces 2017 Awards for Best Papers
April 19, 2017 | PR NewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The 2017 DesignCon Best Paper Award winners have been selected through a two-step review process. First, the DesignCon Technical Program Committee, which is comprised of leading experts in the electronic design space, reviewed all papers for impact, relevance, quality, and originality. The first-round finalists were then judged based on attendee feedback, collected at DesignCon 2017, on the impact of their presentation.
"Congratulations to all finalists and winners of this year's Best Paper Awards. UBM is pleased to recognize these outstanding papers as the best of the excellent content that DesignCon offers its attendees," said Naomi Price, DesignCon Conference Content Director. "Each year, this awards program inspires engineers to strive to produce ground-breaking, top-tier content for the technical sessions at DesignCon."
