In 2019, all over Italy but particularly Florence and the nearby hometown Vinci will be celebrating the 500th anniversary of the death of the genius Leonardo da Vinci.

The five-day event covers the design process, test, and automation tools for electronics, ranging from integrated circuits to distributed embedded systems. The conference scope includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. It also includes the elaboration of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as internet of things, multimedia, healthcare, smart energy, and automotive systems.

The DATE exhibition will run for three days (Tuesday-Thursday). The spacious exhibition area will be located close to the conference rooms in the heart of the Congress Center. As the area is positioned centrally and will host the coffee and lunch break area as well, a constant frequentation will be guaranteed.

DATE also arranges a number of special events and features on the show floor in order to increase exhibition visits, such as an Exhibition Reception on Tuesday evening, extended conference breaks and an Exhibition Theatre with industry themed presentations.

Thus, the exhibition offers the perfect opportunity for discussions and talks with conference delegates, for gaining new industry contacts or intensifying existing business relationships. Furthermore, the DATE exhibition states the perfect venue for industries to meet university professors to foster their university programme and especially for PhD Students to meet their future employers.

DATE continues to be a growing event attracting more than 1,400 conference delegates and exhibition visitors annually.
