IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation's 20th Anniversary

In 2025, the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary—a milestone that reflects two decades of leadership, collaboration, and innovation in the field of electronic design automation. CEDA has served as a unifying force across IEEE societies, advancing research, education, and industry engagement in EDA. From supporting premier conferences and publications to fostering the next generation of design automation professionals, CEDA has played a pivotal role in shaping the technologies that define our digital world.

As we reflect on 20 years of progress, we extend our deepest gratitude to the participants, partners, and volunteers whose dedication has made this journey possible. We also warmly welcome new members of the global EDA community to join us in advancing this exciting field. Whether you are a researcher, educator, industry professional, or student, CEDA offers a wealth of opportunities to engage, collaborate, and grow.

We invite you to explore our premier flagship conferences, including the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC), the Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference (DATE), the Design Automation Conference (DAC), the Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK), and the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD). These events bring together the brightest minds to share cutting-edge research and developments across the electronic design automation landscape. Discover our Distinguished Lecturers program, which connects experts with communities worldwide to inspire and educate the next generation of innovators. Additionally, our various publications and special interest groups provide platforms for knowledge exchange and professional growth.

As we look ahead with renewed purpose, we remain committed to fostering collaboration and innovation that will shape the future of electronic design automation for decades to come. Join us as we continue this remarkable journey and contribute to the technologies that power our digital world.
