Will you be attending DesignCon this year? If you’ll also be in Santa Clara January 31st - Feb 2, please be sure to swing by booth 415 to say hi – we’ve got some pretty sweet swag and we’d love to meet you. We are so excited to attend this event, now in it’s 22nd year, for the first time, and we can’t wait to chat about improving design workflows with the 5,000 engineers in attendance. Catch an Octopart demo — we’ll be showing all the newest BOM tool and search features — meet our team, and tell us what you’re working on and how we can make designing a little more streamlined. Mention this blog and we’ll give you an Octopart t-shirt. If you haven’t received your ticket yet, it’s not too late to register.
