In addition to the classes offered, more than 50 hands-on workshops are also available for attendees.

“Every year we strive to make MASTERs the best training event for design engineers,” said Ken Pye, Microchip’s vice president of worldwide applications. “This year’s theme is ‘Dream. Develop. Deliver.’ Our program will give attendees inspiration to dream big, actionable information to reduce development time and the tools needed deliver quality products to their clients. Everyone who attends MASTERs will walk away with valuable knowledge needed to solve today’s most challenging design issues.”

Additional activities during the MASTERs conference include networking sessions with Microchip engineers, partners and attendees to discuss relevant design topics, meeting with third-party development tool experts and a simulated wafer fab plant tour.
