This blog has discussed an up-and-coming serial memory-interface technology called SPMT and you now have a chance to spend a couple of hours learning about it firsthand, for free. The Santa Clara chapter of the IEEE’s Consumer Electronics Society is sponsoring an evening panel discussion on Tuesday, July 27, which is the night before MemCon 2010.

Jim Venable, President of the SPMT Consortium and Dr. Sehat Sutardja—CEO, President and Chairman of Marvell Semiconductor—will speak at length about SPMT followed by a panel discussion with representatives from memory vendors Samsung and Hynix and IP powerhouses ARM and Silicon Image. The panel moderator is Steve Leibson (your humble blog journalist for the Denali Memory Report). The event starts at 6 pm and will end at 9 pm. Free drinks and food! But the event can only accommodate the first 100 people who sign up so get going. You can sign up here.
