What is the MASTERs Conference?
MASTERs Conference is a bi-directional exchange of technical information between the
technical work forces at Microchip and MASTERs is a highly in-depth conference, including
hands-on technical training, structured to meet the needs of today’s embedded control design
engineers. Now in our 11th year, the India MASTERs Conference continues to arm system design
engineers at every level with extensive product information and hands-on training to help you
scale the learning curve and get your products to market faster.
This year we are offering 31 classes that cover a broad range of topics and are taught by
Microchip’s application and design engineers. Come learn from the same people who have
designed the products you will use in class and walk out with everything you need to get up and
running on your new design.
