The 2017 IEWworkshop was once again held at the ever popular Granlibakken Conference Center & Lodge in Tahoe City, California. Although the weather was cold for May and attendees arrived to snow covered grounds, the conference facilities provided an opportunity to meet in a relaxed, invigorating atmosphere. The conference included poster sessions and presentations about several ESD related issues. Discussion Groups were quite popular and attendees actively participated. For this workshop there were several invited talks from industry professionals: ESD and Startups, ESD Waveform Capture, Cognitive Applications Platforms, and Heterogeneous Integrated Edge Devices for Internet of Things. On Sunday evening, attendees were entertained by McAvoy Layne, The Ghost of Twain, preserving the wit & wisdom of “The Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope,” Mark Twain. On Tuesday, there was time for everyone to enjoy some of the local scenery. The IEW workshop is proving to be a popular event containing valuable tech- nical presentations, posters, tutorials, and discussions, while maintaining a relaxed and informal environment. If you would like to be a part of this rewarding event we invite you to join us next year at the 12th annual IEW workshop from May 14-18, 2018 at the Priorij Corsendonk in Belgium.
