Microchip’s annual MASTERs Conference is the premier technical training event for embedded control engineers. MASTERs is designed to provide engineers with a forum for sharing and exchanging technical information on Microchip’s large portfolio of products and to serve as a design resource for using these products in applications. This year’s conference will feature more than 110 classes—58 of which are new this year—on Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs), high-performance analog and interface solutions, dsPIC® digital signal controllers, wireless communication, mTouch™ sensing solutions, memory products and MPLAB® development ecosystem. This year’s event will also feature numerous classes on Microchip’s AVR® and SAM (ARM®-based) MCUs. Classes are available for all levels of experience. In addition to the classes offered, more than 50 hands-on workshops are also available for attendees.
“Every year we strive to make MASTERs the best training event for design engineers,” said Ken Pye, Microchip’s vice president of worldwide applications. “This year’s theme is ‘Dream. Develop. Deliver.’ Our program will give attendees inspiration to dream big, actionable information to reduce development time and the tools needed deliver quality products to their clients. Everyone who attends MASTERs will walk away with valuable knowledge needed to solve today’s most challenging design issues.”
Additional activities during the MASTERs conference include networking sessions with Microchip engineers, partners and attendees to discuss relevant design topics, meeting with third-party development tool experts and a simulated wafer fab plant tour. Extracurricular events include a Texas hold ‘em card tournament, a FIRST® robotics exhibition match, an inventor’s exhibition and sports bar and gaming area suitable for the whole family.
