Register Now: Synopsys Converge 2026 Unites Silicon and Systems Communities To Re-Engineer the Future

The walls between silicon design and product development are coming down.

As technology grows smarter and more interconnected, chip architects and product engineers can no longer work in discrete domains. Silicon designers must think beyond the transistor to the real-world applications their chips will enable. Product developers need a deep understanding of the semiconductors driving their innovations. And both must tailor their offerings for the broader systems and environments in which they will operate.

The inaugural Synopsys Converge Conference — March 11-12 at the Santa Clara Convention Center — is where these worlds unite.

For the first time, we are simultaneously hosting three premier events:

• Ansys, now part of Synopsys, Simulation World
• Synopsys User Group (SNUG) Silicon Valley
• Synopsys Executive Forum (invitation only)

Connecting the ecosystem like never before and featuring keynote addresses by industry luminaries, Synopsys Converge is a marquee gathering for technical users, directors, managers, and C-suite leaders engaged in the future of intelligent systems co-design. And it is the first conference to showcase a new systems-to-silicon design paradigm for the era of pervasive intelligence — one that is silicon powered, AI enabled, and software defined.

Simulation World: Empowering Engineering Innovation

Converge 2026 builds upon the legacy of the Ansys Simulation World conference series as the premier event for multiphysics simulation and analysis, which is critical when developing advanced products and systems. Simulation World at Converge will include content on why electronics, and specifically silicon co-design, is increasingly important in delivering the next generation of physical products.

Just some of the topics on the agenda:

• Thermal management of electronics
• Signal and power integrity
• Designing for electronics reliability and advanced manufacturing
• High-power electronics
• Silicon photonics and optical systems
• Digital engineering and AI

As Synopsys and Ansys unite technologies, engineering is positioned for a significant leap forward across simulation, AI, and system design. Converge will help set the direction for the next era of innovation and showcase how Ansys simulation and analysis solutions enable engineers to sort through the complexity of smart products and systems for a broad range of industries.

SNUG: Advancing Silicon-to-System Design

For 35 years, the annual Synopsys User Group (SNUG) conference has been the silicon design industry’s premier electronic design automation (EDA) event for user-to-user learning. The inaugural Converge conference will continue that tradition, with SNUG exploring the future of silicon design and the increasingly important role of system considerations.

Delving into the industry’s biggest trends with major keynote addresses, thought-provoking discussions, and user perspectives, SNUG will cover both single and multiphysics design and verification, including multi-die packaging and advanced node topics.

One major theme will be re-engineering chip design to supercharge productivity and innovation. SNUG will explore AI-driven EDA, augmenting human engineering with cutting-edge agentic AI technology, and solutions to create silicon for intelligent systems.

In addition to user presentations on digital and analog design, IP trends, multi-die design, and software and hardware verification, SNUG is adding:

• Synopsys.ai Innovation Experience. Providing discussion-style presentations, hands-on demos, implementation tutorials, and partner sessions, the new Synopsys.ai Innovation Theater and Experience Labs will explore how AI is transforming engineering in the emerging silicon-to-systems design paradigm. You’ll have a chance to experience the latest, most advanced AI copilots and learn how to supercharge your workflows.
• Silicon Startup Track. Designed to guide pre-seed and early-stage silicon startups through the key stages of their journey, this track focuses on overcoming challenges and seizing growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving market. You’ll get actionable insights into current industry trends, growth trajectories, and how to overcome startups’ unique hurdles.

• Demo Theater puts our technologies into action. Gain practical insights with dynamic 15-minute demos on key products and technologies running throughout the day.
• Corsair Racing Simulators offer a high-octane, hands-on experience demonstrating how multiphysics simulation underpins high-performance engineering.

Executive Forum: Charting the Future

Finally, for an exclusive, invitation-only cohort of the 250 top CXOs, VPs, and key decision makers in systems and silicon companies, a series of panels will discuss the challenges and potential paths forward across five key areas:

1. Physical AI and the future of systems design
2. Multi-die, multiphysics, and the future of silicon design
3. The opportunity for new systems-to-silicon engineering paradigms
4. Rethinking compute in the age of AI
5. Agentic AI and its impact on engineering workflows

These sessions will help executives in both communities ensure they are at the forefront of systems-to-silicon leadership. Registration to Executive Forum is by invitation only — to secure your spot, contact your Synopsys sales representative.
