BACKGROUND:  The conference will put thought leaders in the
             design-for-manufacturing (DFM) space in touch with
             investors seeking to capitalize on investment trends
             in this burgeoning area of the semiconductor industry.
             DFM has become a critical component to the success of
             the semiconductor industry. While chip designs
             continue to get bigger and more complex, they are
             incorporating features that can only be measured at
             the nanotechnology level, to sizes approaching a
             billionth of a meter. Due to this complexity, the old,
             sequential process of integrated circuits being
             designed in a vacuum and then handed off to
             manufacturing is changing as a result of DFM.
