Welcome to the 58th Design Automation Conference (DAC). DAC was held at the Moscone Center West, San Francisco, CA, USA, on December 5–9, 2021, and it was great to be back in the beautiful city by the bay for a live event. This year, the DAC Executive Committee experienced many firsts with respect to planning the conference. It was the first DAC to be rescheduled from its normal summer timeframe to December due to COVID-19. It was the first DAC to colocate with both the RISC-V Summit and SEMICON West. And it was the first DAC to go hybrid with both a live and virtual component.
