    Testimonials

    DVCon Europe is really good for networking – there are plenty of breaks and the size of the show hits the sweet spot for meaningful conversations. As an exhibitor we find that the layout means that attendees have time to review the exhibitors and prepare.

    Tamas Olaszi · Director · Jade Design Automation · 2025

    DVCon Europe is useful to us as all the large semi companies attend and there is a good and open atmosphere. Leads generated at the show are strong, as the audience is the right mix of users and decision-makers.

    Sigasi · 2025

    The last two years at the show have been very successful and brought us new customers in Europe. The people we met at DVCon Europe helped spread the word within their companies, building our recognition and expanding our reach throughout their networks.

    Jaeha Kim · CEO and Founder · Scientific Analog · 2025

    DVCon Europe is very important to us as it gives us a great opportunity to meet engineers and ensure that they understand the full capabilities of our tools.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    AI-assisted verification

    AI-assisted verification applies machine learning to stimulus generation, coverage closure and regression triage within chip design flows.

    02

    Shift-left verification

    Shift-left verification moves testbench development, linting and formal checks earlier, ahead of RTL freeze, so bugs are caught while changes are still cheap.

    03

    Functional safety and ISO 26262

    Functional safety verification shows that automotive and industrial chips meet ISO 26262 integrity levels through fault injection, FMEDA and traceability.

    04

    Chiplet and heterogeneous integration

    Chiplet design splits a system across multiple dies linked by die-to-die interfaces such as UCIe, changing how verification and packaging are planned.

    05

    Hardware emulation and prototyping

    Emulation and FPGA prototyping run full-chip software bring-up before silicon, letting teams validate firmware and system scenarios at high speed.

    Technology trade fair circuit

    Book hotels and meetings 8–12 weeks before opening day; peer shows in the same sector often fall in adjacent months.

    Buyers covering technology often plan Design And Verification Conference & Exhibition Europe alongside regional peer shows to compare products, pricing, and service coverage across markets.

    Pre-show
