...from Scott McMorrow, Dr. Thomas Cameron and Faride Akretch

August 29, 2017 (Norwood, Mass.) - To add to its high-quality line-up of education, the Electronic Design Innovation Conference and Exhibition (EDI CON) USA, the first industry event to bring together RF/microwave and high-speed digital design engineers and system integrators, announced today its plenary keynote speakers at EDI CON USA, September 11-13 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA.

EDI CON USA will host more than 100 exhibitors and feature 88 education sessions that fall into five focused areas: RF & Microwave Design, High-Speed Digital Design, Measurement & Modeling, Systems Engineering and 5G Advanced Communications. In addition, EDI CON has a pre-conference training day, Monday September 11th that includes 3-hour intensive short courses in the morning and afternoon with a luncheon and evening reception for conference pass holders.

To add to the three days of extraordinary education, training and networking opportunities, is this year's distinguished line-up of keynote speakers who will address the latest engineering trends and challenges, including "in the trenches" stories of design challenges, successes and failures. Scott McMorrow, Dr. Thomas Cameron and Faride Akretch are slated to speak at 10:30 AM on September 12th, prior to the opening of the Exhibition Hall.

 

Betting Your Job – Finding Your Voice and Being a Change Agent in a Corporate World with Scott McMorrow

McMorrow, an engineer, change agent, problem solver and a trusted technical adviser, approaches every recommendation as a "I bet my job" moment. During his presentation, he will discuss how his philosophy has helped in the development of diverse products where failure could place $100M to $1B+ at risk. Both horror stories and successes in the electronics industry will be revealed. McMorrow, CTO for Signal Integrity Products at Samtec, has helped numerous companies develop high performance products while training signal integrity engineers.

 

A discussion by Dr. Thomas Cameron on 5G Five Years from Now – How do we Get There?

Cameron, CTO for the Communications Business Unit at Analog Devices, will discuss the 5G industry goals and motivations. He will review the technologies that are in development today enabling the early 5G radio designs and highlight some of the challenges that lay ahead for the RF design community. Cameron is currently working on the research and development of radio technology for 5G systems in both cellular and microwave frequency bands. He has over 30 years of experience in research and development of technology for telecom networks including cellular basestations, microwave radios and cable systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and serves as the Technical Program Co-Chair for EDI CON USA.
