Breaking New Ground
ARM Dev Con and Stuff

Usually, when we attend a major conference, we run a “pre-conference” piece ahead of time – just to whet your appetite. This time, however, we decided to try something new. We are, after all, a new media publication. We want to show off some more of that new-media capability by covering this year’s ARM Developers’ Conference by webcast rather than by feature articles.

The idea started simply enough – On October 2nd, we celebrate Embedded Technology Journal’s second anniversary – a landmark event to be sure (at least if you work in one of our offices). With all the editorial feature article focus going to us for one week (that’s right, it’ll all be about us this time), we thought we should find a different venue for our conference coverage. Also, the typical tradeshow/conference event for us is a blitz of briefings – we typically talk with twenty or so experts from various companies, universities, and technology areas, and then try to assimilate the results into a single feature article that brings you the essence of the event. Sometimes, this over-distills the information into a tornado of triviality. “We talked with twelve different experts at this year’s conference, and all agree that many embedded designs will be moving to multi-core processing soon.” woo hoo. Tell me something I didn’t know…
