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.
 
   EDS is where the electronics industry connects.
