Device Developer conference comes to Reading

The UK Device Developers' Conference is an annual event for developers of intelligent systems and devices, exploring new technologies and styles of thinking, in relation to embedded systems, realtime software, internet and wireless technologies and product design and development. Consisting of half-day technical workshops, expert technical presentations and a vendor exhibition of tools, technologies and services, the conference provides an opportunity for delegates to discuss current challenges and explore different approaches.

Topics at this year's conference include safety critical systems, Linux for high performance systems, display technologies, debug tools, developing certified software, capturing and transmitting remote video across the world and advances in hardware platforms for embedded systems development.

The conference is free to attend for engineers and developers, but with a small charge for places on half-day workshops. Industry sponsors fund the entire conference, including refreshments. This year's sponsors include German debug tool company Lauterbach, UK computer board manufacturer Blue Chip Technology and display technology specialists Intelligent Display Solutions.

“We are pleased to be bringing the conference to Reading this year,” said Richard Blackburn, Conference Manager. “We know that there are a lot of technology companies in that region and we are confident that many developers will value the opportunity to attend the conference. We now have a good deal of industry support for this event. Vendors are keen to share their developments and insights, and this is the ideal forum. Furthermore, the conference is growing year on year. At the 2014 conference, delegate attendance increased by 20%, so we are optimistic that we can maintain the growth of this event and further establish the conference as a key European industry event.”
