About EMC 2006

The theme for EMC 2006 is The Role of Technology in our Economy. Today’s technology-driven economy has spurred thousands of innovations while also introducing quality, customer service, supply chain, and work-life balance issues, to name a few. Engineers are forced to reach further and deeper, while working faster, smarter, safely, and cost-effectively with no relief in sight. Case studies, field experience, novel concepts, new applications, cost-saving approaches, and innovations will be covered by this dual-track conference. Attendees at EMC include approximately 200 senior and mid-level engineering managers from Applied Materials, Boeing, Cadence, Dell, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lockheed-Martin, NASA, National Instruments, and Texas Instruments as well as many other organizations.
