The Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) will be combined with the electronicaUSA system design show and several other industry conferences in 2004. It will take place Mar. 29 – Apr. 1, 2004 in San Francisco's Moscone Center. Organizers expect 18,000 attendees, 300 sessions, 500 exhibitors, and international pavilions for China, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Japan, and Germany.

The massive confab will amalgamate a long list of smaller shows and conferences, including:
