NEW 2007 & exhibition We invite you to join in a unique vendor showcase targeted to the fastest growing segment in the electronics industry! Portable is white hot, and the Portable Design Conference & Exhibition (PDCE) is your avenue to that design community. As the portable market has exploded over the last 10 years, Portable Design has been serving this market with practical, application-oriented articles, and we re the only magazine that does so exclusively. We carry more articles exclusively for designers of portable electronic products than any other, with detailed advice from industry experts to help engineers solve the issues they face in designing cutting edge consumer, industrial, medical and military devices. Now we re going live and in person, bringing all our resources, contacts and expertise together on-site at the high-tech Santa Clara Convention Center on October 3rd & 4th. Not only is this a significant opportunity to meet leading design engineers in the portable arena, we have co-located our PDCE event with the ARM Developers Conference and ArrowFest, which together will draw in over 6,000 engineers. >07 To understand the enormity of the portable space, the Consumer Electronics Association is projecting CE sales of $155B in 2007. Consumer electronics are fueling the growth of the electronics industry worldwide, with portable audio, video and other entertainment devices making up a significant portion of that market. According to In-Stat, MP3 players are nearly 90% of the $6B mobile entertainment market, which is expected to grow over 44% per year to 286M units by 2010. Mobile video for entertainment purposes is expected to grow annually to $6 billion+ by 2011. Portable gaming consoles alone are projected to be a $3B market by next year. And in 2006 cell phones were a $143.7B market worldwide (that s over 2.6B units shipped). These numbers are more than staggering; they are solid indicators why the Portable Design Conference & Exhibition is going to be a very strong influence on your growth and revenue. If you or your company is involved in any way with portable designs, then the Portable Design Conference & Exhibition in October 2007 is essential to your future. We invite your immediate consideration before space sells-out. -John Donovan Editor-in-Chief, Portable Design Technical Advisor, Portable Design Conference & Exhibition PORTABLE DESIGN and exhibition SANTA CLARA, CA OCTOBER 3-4 2007
