SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today unveiled its inaugural Converge Conference, a new, industry-defining event taking place March 11-12 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Designed as a unified experience, Synopsys Converge will simultaneously host SNUG Silicon Valley, Simulation World, a CxO-exclusive Executive Forum, and the interactive Converge Pavilion. The event will spotlight Synopsys' silicon-to-systems vision via executive keynotes and demonstrations of breakthrough solutions shaping the future of engineering in the AI era.

"Converge is more than an event to convene the industry's technology leaders — it's an important milestone on our journey to enable a silicon-powered, AI-enabled, and software-defined future," said Ann Minooka, chief marketing officer at Synopsys. "Today's innovation demands a new level of partnership between silicon and systems, where success is determined by system designers who understand silicon, and silicon teams who design with full system context. Converge unites these communities to facilitate deep discussion, spark new ideas, and empower this engineering transformation."

This year, SNUG Silicon Valley will offer 12 design-focused tracks spanning advanced nodes, multi‑die, verification, and AI-driven workflows; Simulation World will showcase innovations in co-design, electronics, thermal management, signal integrity, and AI-enabled simulation; and the invite‑only Executive Forum will bring together industry leaders to discuss AI, multi‑die advances, and silicon‑to‑system strategy.
