What is EDS?

EDS is a leadership summit.

It is an important gathering of the movers, shakers and brightest minds that electronic component manufacturers, distributors and representatives have to offer.

In an energized, progressive atmosphere, top decision makers come together to build business. It’s a forum to plan, discuss new opportunities, and reset goals.

The core of EDS is valuable idea exchange. It happens through high-level strategic meetings, event functions and informal gatherings. Business relationships are rekindled and new ones formed.


EDS is more than just one week of meet­ings. It is year-round match­mak­ing and plan­ning activ­i­ty that cul­mi­nates in Las Vegas at the EDS Summit.

If you’ve nev­er been to EDS, then you’ve been miss­ing out on some amaz­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties. It’s not your typ­i­cal tradeshow envi­ron­ment where all of the action hap­pens on the con­ven­tion floor. EDS is a com­bi­na­tion of sched­uled, one-on-one meet­ings, edu­ca­tion­al pro­grams and net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties to max­i­mize success.

EDS is a strong­ly sup­port­ed, joint effort by the indus­try’s top mem­ber orga­ni­za­tions: the Elec­tron­ic Com­po­nents Indus­try Asso­ci­a­tion, and the Elec­tron­ic Rep­re­sen­ta­tives Asso­ci­a­tion.
