EE6: Return of survey says!

Abstract

After the success of this evening event in 2016, Survey Says! returns to entertain the ISSCC audience. Two teams of panelists, all data-converter experts, compete to guess the most popular responses to a series of survey questions. While similar to the US game show “Family Feud”, in this event the audience's participation is also solicited to make the evening more amusing and controversial than the TV game show. This year a new set of survey questions, both fun and technical, will be featured. Survey questions probe both professional and personal sides, for example: “What do you like about your job?” or “How do you get more time to tape-out?” or “Why does your project fall behind?”. The contestants may ask for the audience's help after two failed guesses. This is an opportunity to learn how others in the field think in various situations and also to see how even the most experienced experts can struggle to guess even obvious answers when under pressure.
