Dear friends,

Good News!! DVCon Europe is returning to its usual conference venue in Munich for an in-person conference and it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 9^th edition of DVCon Europe planned on 6^th and 7^th December 2022, along with Accellera’s co-located SystemC Evolution Day on 8^th December 2022.

From covid 19 to chip shortage and now the ongoing geopolitical crisis, it seems like we are living in a dramatic part of the history, where nothing can be taken for granted. In this ever-changing global scenario, one thing which remains constant is the relevance and importance of science and technology, which heavily depends on our semiconductor industry.

The Design and Verification Conference & Exhibition Europe (DVCon Europe) is the premier European technical conference on system, software, design, verification, validation, and integration. It is a place where the latest methodologies and technologies for the industrial use of tools, languages, and standards for integrated and embedded systems and products are shared and discussed.

DVCon Europe, sponsored by Accellera, provides attendees around the globe with the industry’s most comprehensive technical program focused on the design and verification of electronic systems. It is also that time of the year when we celebrate, promote and reward some of the brilliant ideas from the authors who are carefully shortlisted from a large number of submissions. We also get an opportunity to hear from industry leaders in form of keynotes and panel sessions.

Last year, DVCon Europe 2021 virtual conference, was a huge success and very well received by the record high number of attendees across the globe.

I look forward to your enthusiastic participation, to reflect upon and celebrate innovation, renew friendship, extend your networks, and jointly explore current and future innovation opportunities. The steering committee is confident that this conference will be yet another stimulating, productive and memorable event. Also, I hope that the vibrant Munich city will add to the pleasure of the conference and create lasting memories.

Looking forward to meeting you in Munich.
