Design Automation Conference — 2027
July 11-14, 2027
San Jose McEnery Convention CenterSan Jose, California, United States
Hardware Automation Microarchitecture Computer Architecture Engineering
The Design Automation Conference is the main venue for electronic design automation, covering chip design tools, verification, hardware security and increasingly machine learning both as a workload to design for and as a technique for doing the designing. It is unusual among academic conferences in having a very large commercial exhibition attached, so the attendee mix leans heavily toward industry and the research track sits alongside a substantial trade show. It suits researchers working on EDA tooling and hardware design methodology, and anyone whose work benefits from direct contact with the semiconductor industry. Ranked A* by CORE, with an acceptance rate of 22.6% in 2025.
