DesignCon Introduces Keynote Speakers and New Technical Director Janine Love

Keynote Speakers include industry leaders from Intel, Micron, and XPRIZE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — UBM Tech, the daily source of essential business and technical information for decision makers in the electronics industry, has announced that Janine Love, editor of EE Times' "Memory DesignLine," has been promoted to Technical Director of DesignCon.  Responsible for the development and integration of the two new wireless and optical conference tracks, Janine is already actively engaged with DesignCon 2014 and will continue working with the advisory board to further develop the conference's technical program —including technical papers and tutorials— as well as begin spearheading EDN's new PCB Design Center and the soon-to-be-launched DesignCon Central.  Buoyed by Janine's recent contributions and the announcement of three prestigious keynote speakers, DesignCon's award-winning program and level of industry support continue to expand for the 2014 conference, which will take place in Silicon Valley January 28 – 31, 2014. 

"Janine will be filling some rather big shoes currently been worn by Barry Sullivan, who will be transitioning out of the Technical Director role after DesignCon 2014," said Katie Stern, General Manager, DesignCon at UBM Tech.  "It's a role Janine has been actively preparing for, having worked closely with Barry, as well as one in which we know she will succeed.  As a writer and editor in the electrical engineering field since the dawning of the 'wireless age,' Janine has the ability to develop technical content and collaborate effectively and with ease."

The 2014 DesignCon program, which comprises the largest educational conference and technology exhibition for chip, board and systems design engineers in the high-speed communications and semiconductor communities, will provide attendees with an array of in-depth technical education and training opportunities, including keynote addresses from the prestigious Dr. Hermann Eul, Vice President and General Manager of the Mobile and Communications Group at Intel Corporation; J. Thomas Pawlowski, Chief Technologist of the Micron Innovation Team at Micron Technology, Inc.; and Eileen Bartholomew, Senior Vice President of Prize Development at XPRIZE.
