Welcome back, It’s hard to believe it’s already time to begin thinking about EDS 2010! Here’s a sneak peak into next year. EDS 2010 promises to be an exciting one.
We’re making a few changes to the event, thanks to the input we’ve received from you. You’ve asked for changes, and we’ve listened. Thanks to your suggestions, we’re turning the show floor into a meeting hall and eliminating the education seminars, all so we can provide you with more time and opportunity for networking. We’re also making exciting additions to the all-industry cocktail reception that you’re sure to love.
EDS has also entered the hot social networking world on Facebook and Twitter! We know how important it is to prepare for EDS prior to the show, so we’re taking advantage of Facebook’s open communication platform so you can start your networking now. Follow us on Twitter @EDSShow or check out our Facebook fan page (search: EDS) and stay plugged in to all of the latest news and notes regarding EDS — “The original electronics networking forum”.

It’s all about doing things differently to ensure greater success, not just for the show’s organizers, but for all the participants as well. If you want to maximize your EDS experience, the first question you should ask everyone you meet is, “What are you doing differently?”
Forget what you think you know about EDS—this year’s experience will be very different from last year or any other. The electronics industry is facing a new set of issues—consolidation, shrinking markets on a global scale, greater off-shore competition, pricing and profitability pressures—and this is the one opportunity to meet and learn from reps, distributors, manufacturers, customers, and marketing professionals. You know you can’t do the same things you’ve always done and expect your business to change—EDS 2009 is the place to learn how to go to market now, in this economy, which markets to go after, and what to do once you know the answer to those first two questions.
The electronics industry is changing, and EDS is expanding its horizons as well. This year we’ve developed a more tutorial, hands-on seminar schedule, full of practical, affordable ideas that can transform your day-to-day and long-term business. We’ve also put the spotlight on an emerging technology—solid-state lighting—in an effort to help our participants get educated on the products, technology, and marketing techniques that can help them expand into this growing market. Please take advantage of these new offerings; to get even more out of the EDS experience, be willing to do things a little bit differently this year in Vegas.
How we do business is changing, but the place we do business remains the same. See you at EDS next week!

EDS 2009 is only weeks away
We’re busy putting the final preparations together for a memorable and value-driven show that includes: the new Solid-State Lighting Technology Conference on Wednesday and Thursday (May 13-14), the return of eXtreme Networking on Tuesday, May 12th, and an exciting array of topical seminars — featuring two distinct economists addressing the road to recovery, as well as panel discussions on industry topics such as “Alternative Ways to Generate Sales Leads.”
If you’re still on the fence about attending EDS 2009, consider the unprecedented value to be found at this year’s event. Rooms can be found for under $100/night at host hotels and, for the first time, pre-ordered food and beverages are discounted. EDS is also offering other special packages for attendees. For more information about the new, all-inclusive deals, call Gretchen at 312-648-1140 or e-mail eds@edsconnects.com.
We’ve all heard about the effect of the economy on Las Vegas — and I for one am looking forward to an easier time getting into the city’s clubs, restaurants and shows after EDS meetings are over for the day. Maybe I’ll even get a seat at the blackjack table, and find reasonable minimums. Smaller Vegas crowds are okay by me.
Register! Just click above and reserve your spot. You can also book your hotel rooms directly with Paris or Bally’s — and don’t forget to ask for discounted EDS rates.
