The conference formerly known as ESC Boston was, and still is, one of my favorites. While it has a new name -- DESIGN East -- it still maintains all the embedded hardware, software, etc., that make it the go-to place for all things embedded.
The name change stems from the fact that there's more than just embedded systems at the show. It’s more like an umbrella title under which ESC resides. Some of the other events sitting under that umbrella include Sensors in Design (SID), and DesignMED, a conference for designers of medical devices.
DESIGN East takes place next week, September 18 and 19, at the Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston, with a series of workshops the day before. The exhibit hall will be packed with embed-like vendors, and the theater will play host to various events, including one DIY event hosted by our own Karen Field. At last year’s show, Karen led a group of designers who each created a fairly innovative embedded system.
The usual “can’t miss” speakers will also be on hand, including Jack Ganssle, Dan Saks, and Rob Oshana. I always make time to hear these experts speak, as I always learn something new. I hope to see you there.

Rich is correct when he points out what a great event DESIGN East is and will be this year. He says the speakers are "can't miss," but I'm willing to bet the whole show can be characterized that way.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New disc magnet motors fit into the design trend of stepping up to closed loop performance while maintaining the cost advantage of stepper motor technology.
At the Design News webinar on June 27, learn all about aluminum extrusion: designing the right shape so it costs the least, is simplest to manufacture, and best fits the application's structural requirements.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
