Santa Cruz, Calif., USA, 28 May 2015 — Heart of Technology, the philanthropic organization based in Silicon Valley that supports community humanitarian causes, reveals details of the Love IP Party taking place on Monday, June 8 during the 52nd Design Automation Conference (DAC) held in San Francisco that week. The event will be held at Jillian’s SF at Metreon located next to Moscone Center. Over 20 companies have come together to sponsor the event, which highlights the growing momentum of intellectual property (IP) at DAC. The party will raise money to support the San Jose State University Guardian Scholars (SJSU Guardian Scholars) serving 35 to 50 youth emancipated from foster care, wards of the court, and homelessness.

“Heart of Technology is about giving back to the community. In this case, we are giving back to DAC for embracing the growing IP industry and providing a platform for innovation. And we are also giving back to support the vital efforts of SJSU. Our goal is to bring awareness and raise funds to support young scholars as they transition from a disadvantaged upbringing to become the next scientist, engineer, health care professional or even Silicon Valley entrepreneur. We appreciate the DAC community’s help to make this happen.”
Embodying the spirit of San Francisco’s Summer of Love, the party is described as a “social be-in” to celebrate creative thinkers, the IP revolution at DAC, and brotherly love to support the SJSU Guardian Scholars. Highlights include:
- Fabulous food and open bar with 17 microbrews on tap and specialty cocktails.
