MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), in conjunction with the
Technical Committee for the Synopsys Users Group (SNUG®)
event in Silicon Valley, today announced the winners of the

Synopsys users with an opportunity to share experiences and learn
about Synopsys' newest products, IP and future technology
direction. 2020 marked the 30th anniversary of SNUG
Silicon Valley; however, the decision was made to cancel the event
due to measures necessitated by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

conference papers and presentations to Synopsys users. In
addition, Synopsys co-CEO Aart de
Geus recorded a message to share his thoughts about
SNUG and new product introductions.

years," said Savita Banerjee,
principal program manager at Microsoft and SNUG Silicon Valley
Technical Committee chair. "It's an event I look forward to every
year, not only to learn about interesting industry trends and
disruptive technologies, but to also connect with the brightest
minds that are shaping the tech landscape."

of 45 members from 25 different industry-leading corporations,
