DATE 2011 event in Grenoble with its special days on smart devices and on energy generation and consumption were a success. See http://www.date-conference.com/conference/thursday-special-day for more details.
There were excellent talks, including the one by Jan Rabaey, Professor from UC Berkeley and a recognised authority on low power electronics. Jan talked about “POWERING AND COMMUNICATING WITH MM-SIZE IMPLANTS”. My talk on Energy Modulated Computing went really well.
The Wednesday and Thursday sopecial days were followed by Friday workshops, including the Workshop on Micro Power Management for Macro Systems on Chip (uPM2SoC) http://www.date-conference.com/conference/workshop-w1 where James Docherty and I presented two talks (mine was also co-authored by Danil Sokolov, who was the lead author and should have been there) – http://www.date-conference.com/conference/workshop-w1
