DATE 2027 — Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition

DATE 2027, the Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition, takes place 22-24 March 2027 in Dresden, Germany. DATE is the main European event bringing together electronic system designers, design-automation users, researchers and EDA vendors, covering ICs and SoCs, emerging technologies, embedded systems and embedded software. Its 2027 call for papers carries explicit AI tracks — applications of artificial intelligence systems, machine learning solutions for embedded and cyber-physical systems, and design methodologies for machine learning architectures — alongside hardware security, low-power design, formal verification, test methodologies, quantum computing automation and emerging design technologies for future computing and memories. It is sponsored by ACM SIGDA, IEEE CEDA, EDAA and the ESD Alliance, and pairs a peer-reviewed technical programme with a commercial exhibition of design tools and IP.

• ✓VP of Silicon / Head of Hardware Engineering
• ✓CTOs at semiconductor and embedded systems companies
• ✓AI accelerator and edge-AI architects
• ✓EDA tool buyers and design methodology leads
• ✓Automotive and industrial embedded software leaders
• ✓Hardware security and functional safety leaders
• ✓Semiconductor researchers and academics

AI economics are now decided in silicon: the difference between an inference workload that pays for itself and one that does not is an architecture and toolchain decision made years earlier. DATE is where those decisions are debated in public, with the EDA vendors whose licences you are renewing standing at the exhibition next door. A hardware or embedded-systems executive leaves with a view of where accelerator design methodology is heading, a direct read on tool roadmaps from the vendors, and access to the European research groups and the Dresden semiconductor cluster feeding both.

• ✓Technical programme paper registration 13 September 2026, final submission 20 September 2026
• ✓CFP track: applications of artificial intelligence systems
• ✓CFP track: machine learning solutions for embedded and cyber-physical systems
• ✓CFP track: design methodologies for machine learning architectures
• ✓CFP track: hardware security and low-power design
• ✓CFP track: quantum computing automation and emerging design technologies
• ✓Commercial exhibition of EDA tools, IP and design services
• ✓Co-sponsored by ACM SIGDA, IEEE CEDA, EDAA and the ESD Alliance

• ★The European counterweight to DAC — if your AI silicon, automotive SoC or edge-AI platform is designed in Europe, this is the room where its toolchain and methodology are argued about
• ★Uniquely pairs a selective peer-reviewed technical programme with a working EDA and IP exhibition, so the research and the tools you would actually buy are in the same building
• ★Sponsored by four bodies at once — ACM SIGDA, IEEE CEDA, EDAA and the ESD Alliance — which is why it spans academia and the commercial EDA industry rather than one or the other
• ★Three named machine-learning tracks in the 2027 CFP cover both directions: ML for design automation, and design automation for ML architectures
• ★Sited in Dresden, the centre of Europe's semiconductor manufacturing cluster, putting the fabs and the designers in the same city
