No recession apparent in embedded design

Embedded World 2008, at the Nurnberg exhibition grounds. Larger than in previous years, it was also very much busier, or so it certainly appeared. Trade shows generally last, in reality, about half-a-day less than they are officially timetabled to; if they are a three-day show, everything goes very quiet from mid-day on the last day – not this one. Either a lot of people were wasting their time, or design has not been sent offshore – At Embedded World the place was busy almost up to the moment the doors closed, and at peak times there were aisles you could barely make your way along. Once they have ahd a chance to “debrief” it will be interesting to hear what the exhibitors thought were the topics attracting so much attention.
