Warrington to host hi-tech Developers Conference
This summer, Warrington will host some of the world’s leading developers in tools and technologies used by hi-tech engineers.
The annual UK Device Developers’ Conference will be held at the Park Royal Hotel in Stretton, on June 2.
It is an annual event for developers of intelligent systems and devices, serving as a chance for them to explore new technologies, learn new skills and meet with top industry experts.
Conference organiser Richard Blackburn said:
“This is a leading UK event for the embedded systems industry, the term ‘embedded’ refers to the fact that most intelligent devices have a microprocessor embedded within the electronics.
“This conference explores the tools and technologies required for the development of embedded systems, such as debug tools, real time operating systems, touchscreen technology, compilers, bios code, single board computers and manufacturing services.
“The delegates that attend range from medical device developers to engineers from major car companies.”
Two leading topics for this year’s conference will be ‘Device to Cloud Connectivity’ and ‘Software Safety and Certification’.
The conference offers half-day workshops covering both topics, presented by industry experts.
Other topics on the agenda include developing with touch-based input sensing, designing software components for easy re-use, model-driven development, and software version control.
Mr Blackburn added:
“What we try to create each year is a forum where engineers and computer scientist can find answers to current challenges, discover new technologies and be informed of new trends and developments.
“We work hard to create a worthwhile and productive event, as we fully understand how developers are often working to deadlines and that their time is an important resource.”
The Device Developers’ Conference is free to attend for engineers, computer scientists and technical managers with a small charge is made for places on the half-day technical workshops.
