Edinburgh Roadshow - 20th Jan


The weather finally eased a little and the Edinburgh roadshow took place. As usual there were a few last minute dropouts but that didn't take anything away from what was a very interesting and pleasant event.

It is always a joy for me to spend time in Scotland and I love contrasting the nature of the electronics industry here with other parts of the UK. The roadshow was held in the Livingston area - the former entrance to the much lauded Silicon Glen. As we all know, the foreign-owned businesses upped sticks some time ago, but what we have now in this area is a vibrant electronics community with great local universities and proper support from the regional development agency.

As for the roadshow itself, the message is very clear - come and see for yourself. Altium Designer is one of the most exciting design tools on the market today and to appreciate it's capabilities all you need to do is register and come along. We'll be very pleased to see you.
