EDS Par­tic­i­pa­tion

EDS is not a tra­di­tion­al trade show – it is 4 days of pri­mar­i­ly pre-sched­uled meet­ings in a venue ded­i­cat­ed to max­i­miz­ing access to the com­pa­nies that make up the autho­rized man­u­fac­ture, dis­tri­b­u­tion and sale of elec­tron­ic com­po­nents. Com­pa­nies are required to be approved before attend­ing EDS and the cost of attend­ing EDS is based on com­pa­ny designation. 

To ensure par­tic­i­pant safe­ty and to ensure the integri­ty of EDS, badges are required to be dis­played at all times while in the event area and are issued by com­pa­ny type. Please make sure that every­one you are meet­ing with is aware of this pol­i­cy. Badge pric­ing is inclu­sive, for all days of the event, and for access to all pub­lic EDS events and spaces, includ­ing Con­nec­tions Café. Atten­dees will pick up badges at the Reg­is­tra­tion Desk. NOTE: Each attendee will be issued 1 badge. Replace­ment badges will incur a $150/​badge reprint charge.

Please sup­port the EDS mis­sion and only sched­ule appoint­ments with com­pa­nies that com­ply with the EDS Par­tic­i­pa­tion Pol­i­cy and have been approved to attend EDS.

For com­pa­nies who have pre­vi­ous­ly attend­ed EDS, reg­is­tra­tion infor­ma­tion will be sent out in Novem­ber 2024 for com­pa­nies reserv­ing Hotel Meet­ing Suites and Exec­u­tive Meet­ing Rooms, Decem­ber 2024 for com­pa­nies reserv­ing space in the Lily Ball­room or Man­u­fac­tur­ers not rent­ing space, and in Feb­ru­ary 2025 for Attendee reg­is­tra­tion. Make sure that you have info@​edssummit.​com list­ed as a safe sender to get the most up-to-date information.

IF YOUR COM­PA­NY HAS NEV­ER ATTEND­ED EDS AND YOU ARE REQUEST­ING BOARD OF DIREC­TORS APPROVAL, please CLICK HERE to fill out your infor­ma­tion that will be reviewed for par­tic­i­pa­tion. Com­pa­nies attend­ing EDS must be approved for atten­dance at EDS by the EDS Board of Direc­tors and the review process will begin in Octo­ber 2024.

EDS Com­mu­ni­ca­tions

If you have attend­ed EDS in the past and are not receiv­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tions, please do the following:

1. Check your Junk or Spam folders
2. Make sure info@​edssummit.​com is list­ed as a safe sender
3. Have your IT depart­ment whitelist info@​edssummit.​com

*** ALERT ***

In addi­tion, make sure that reg­is­tra­tion, space rental and hotel room reser­va­tions are made only through the offi­cial EDS links or through EDS Man­age­ment. There are many fraud­u­lent com­pa­nies aggres­sive­ly con­tact­ing peo­ple and offer­ing to book hotel rooms or pro­vide reg­is­tra­tion at a dis­count­ed rate — these are scams — do not respond to them. If you have booked through an out­side ven­dor, dis­pute the charge with your cred­it card com­pa­ny and rebook through EDS Man­age­ment. EDS does not autho­rize or sell con­tact lists or book space through third par­ties and EDS Man­age­ment will be unable to assist in the event of a dis­pute for any rooms not booked through the link pro­vid­ed at registration.

If a third par­ty con­tacts you, please noti­fy EDS management.
