SUMMARY:AESIN Webinar: Simulation\, the backbone of AV Assurance testing
DESCRIPTION:As vehicle automation increases\, physical testing alone can no longer provide sufficient coverage\, repeatability or confidence. Virtual testing to validate complex ADAS/ADS is therefore an essential pillar of the certification process – but\, only if its evidence can be trusted\, audited and consistently reproduced. We must apply a structured\, traceable approach – from test-coverage reasoning to simulation toolchain scrutiny – enabling virtual environments to be elevated to the same evidentiary status as controlled facility or on road tests.

SUMMARY:TechWorks Stand at Advanced Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Engineering Exhibition 2026 \nHow fast can you turn new technology into real engineering advantage?\nAdvanced Engineering returns to the NEC Birmingham on 4 and 5 November 2026 and if you work in engineering or manufacturing\, this is the one event worth putting in your diary. \nIt’s not a conference. It’s not a trade show. It’s two days away from your desk\, surrounded by the people\, technologies and ideas that are genuinely moving the industry forward across aerospace\, automotive\, defence\, energy\, medical\, electronics and more.\nAt a time when industrial resilience\, supply chain security and sovereign capability have never mattered more\, Advanced Engineering brings the right people into the same room. \nSMEs meet OEMs. Innovators meet investors. Technologies find the commercial pathways they need to scale. From dual-use technologies and friend-shoring strategies to the net zero transition and the future of high-value manufacturing\, the conversations happening here are the ones shaping what comes next.\nBut perhaps the most valuable thing you’ll take away isn’t what you came looking for. It’s the supplier you didn’t know existed\, the emerging capability you hadn’t considered\, the partner that changes the direction of a project. That’s what Advanced Engineering is for.\nIn 2026\, the event is also co-locating with UK Metals Expo for the first time\, bringing even more of the UK industrial supply chain under one roof. \nRegister for free: https://register.visitcloud.com/survey/2oabfkodc7ge5?actioncode=5174 \nFind out more / Register for FREE

SUMMARY:Ready for the Boardroom: Communicate with Influence and Impact
DESCRIPTION:With Nina Terzic\, Independent Strategic Consultant \nNina will explore what it takes to be boardroom-ready\, how to communicate with influence and impact\, and how to build the confidence\, presence and strategic relationships needed to operate effectively at senior level’. \nShe will then break the conversation down into 3 pillars: \nPillar 1: The Transition from Expert to Authority (Positioning & Executive Voice) \nCore Execution: Shifting from selling manual input and data to commanding strategic value and executive confidence. How to speak clearly and ensure your institutional value is understood immediately\, especially when navigating high-pressure\, male-dominated environments. \nPillar 2: Transatlantic Mobility & Strategic Networking (Getting into the Right Rooms) \nCore Execution: The mechanics behind building a powerful network and unlocking doors that are traditionally inaccessible. Transitioning from simply consuming information to actively curating international cross-border opportunities. \nPillar 3: The Art of the Sprezzatura Pause (Negotiation & Stakeholder Management) \nCore Execution: Mastering strategic boundaries and emotional intelligence. How to seamlessly adapt and calibrate your core message depending on your audience—whether you are presenting to an executive board member\, a venture capitalist investor\, or your own internal team. \nBiography \nNina Terzic is originally from Zagreb\, Croatia\, last 5 years she has been based in Zurich\, Switzerland. \nHer background is in high – level diplomacy\, and she has spent 15 years working for the government and international institutions as a diplomat\, with mandates in Croatia\, Brussels\, PR China\, Latvia\, Turkmenistan\, Bulgaria and Vienna. And closely cooperating with many institutions – EC\, UN on big strategic projects. \nThrough living and working in 11 countries\, Nina has built a global network of institutional and capital contacts that open doors for my clients that are otherwise inaccessible. \nToday\, she works from Zurich as an independent Strategic Consultant\, specializing in 3 key areas: \n\npolicy advisory – advice on policies and regulations\nfundraising – raising capital\nmarket entry – entering a new market\n\nIn short\, her job is to connect companies with the capital\, with the institutions\, make their story profitable and visible\, at the highest level. \nIn addition\, Nina is also a Lead of WCS Zurich\, International Women Business Club in the energy field\, she is active in various global initiatives\, such as UN Vienna working groups and Partner of the WEF Davos.

SUMMARY:AI in FPGA Design Flows - Hype\, Help or Transformation?
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers NOW OPEN – CLICK HERE to download the formSubmission deadline: Friday 9th October 2026\nNotifications: Friday 23rd October 2026 \nThis is a  DESN | FPGA Frontrunners event \nArtificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most discussed developments in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Recent industry conferences have highlighted the emergence of AI-assisted engineering workflows\, copilot tools\, and increasingly capable agentic AI systems that can autonomously perform complex design and verification tasks. \nFor the FPGA community\, this raises important questions: \n\nWhere is AI delivering genuine value today?\nWhich parts of the FPGA development lifecycle benefit most?\nAre productivity gains measurable and repeatable?\nWhat challenges remain around trust\, verification and governance?\nHow will AI affect FPGA design methodologies over the next five years?\nWill RTL remain the dominant abstraction\, or will new AI-assisted approaches emerge?\n\nThis TechWorks FPGA Network event aims to move beyond industry hype and focus on practical experience from engineers and organisations actively using AI within FPGA development environments. \nThe event will be hosted by Siemens in London and will bring together FPGA designers\, verification engineers\, technical leaders\, end users and EDA vendors to share real-world experiences and lessons learned. \nAgenda\n\n\n\n\nTime\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n10:00\nRegistration\n\n\n10:30\nIntroduction from Siemens\n\n\n11:00\nAM Session Speakers\n\n\n12:30\nNetworking Lunch\n\n\n13:30\nPM Session Speakers\n\n\n14:30\nWrap Up\n\n\n14:45\nClose

SUMMARY:Confidence-enabling environments: the business case
DESCRIPTION:With Ana Indoitu\, Director of People\, Operations & Growth \nConventional wisdom puts the responsibility of confidence building on the individual: improve your mindset\, practice your pitch\, repeat positive affirmations and avoid panic. Yet even the most capable people struggle to contribute when the environment is unclear\, punitive or dismissive. A seed can have all the potential in the world; it still will not thrive in barren soil. \nThis workshop builds of my professional journey as an enabler – shifting the question from “How can people become more confident?” to “What are we doing as organisations – intentionally or accidentally – to make confidence possible?” \nWe will explore how leaders and organisations can create the “fertile soil” for people to speak up\, take healthy risks\, learn from mistakes and bring innovation to work. Because confidence is not only an individual trait – it is also a reflection of the conditions we build around people. \nAnd when those conditions are right\, confidence stops being a motivational slogan and becomes a competitive advantage. \nWhat to expect: \nThe answers to the following 3 questions: \n\nWhy confidence matters to organisations?\nWhat makes a culture confidence-enabling?\nHow to enable confidence for individuals and teams?\n\nBiography \nWith a background in law and development management\, Ana shares 9+ years in leadership roles. She is a founder and manager of companies from their initial growth stage to scaling up across software\, hardware development and development industries. Ana is a hands-on professional\, with experience in building the HR function and team. With expertise in talent management\, employee engagement\, performance optimization\, and organizational development\, Ana has successfully contributed to the growth of several organizations. Ana is passionate about aligning talent practices with business objectives\, optimizing talent acquisition\, and shaping workplace culture that supports innovation\, collaboration\, and long-term success.
