UBM India and TechInsights (http://www.techinsights.com), divisions of United Business Media, LLC, have today announced that this year's Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) India, has been certified by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Extension. This enables all conference attendees the opportunity to receive academic credit towards professional certification. By providing this service to our attendees, ESC India, which offers the Indian embedded design industry an in-depth, unbiased and world-class education for all levels of design engineers and software developers, is making sure that today's designers have the most up-to-date information available to incorporate into their designs.

In keeping with ESC's global mandate of being the platform of choice for showcasing the innovations and technologies of the embedded design community, ESC India has expanded to four locations. At each venue, expert presenters will deliver crisp content and in-depth technical analysis to India's growing semiconductor market. This year's events include embedded luminaries such as Jack Ganssle, Robert Oshana, and Michael Barr. ESC India will be held at the Nimhans Convention Center in Bangalore, 14-17 October, the Hyderabad International Convention Centre in Hyderabad, 25-26 September, the Le Meridien Pune in Pune, 29-30 September, and the Radisson MBD Hotel in Noida, 7-8 October.

Highlighting the value proposition of the event, Mr. Sajid Desai, Publisher and Director, UBM India Pvt.

With this event, we aim to deliver a unified platform for this industry, where exhibitors, visitors and delegates can interact and get up to date on the latest happenings."

"TechInsights is proud to bring our high-quality conference series back to India for the second consecutive year, this time expanding the conference across four technology hotspots throughout the country," said Richard Nass, editor in chief of Embedded Systems Design and editorial director of the Embedded Systems Conferences. "India's embedded market continues to grow at a very fast rate; not only because of outsourcing, but because demand within its domestic market is flourishing. As India continues to move up the electronics design value-add chain, it's imperative that the U.S. maintains a relationship with our fellow embedded designers in India, and our goal is to continue to make ESC India the premier venue for these interactions and reciprocal learning to take place."
