May 21st-24th, Resorts World in Las Vegas will transform into a hub for innovation and collaboration as leaders from electronic component manufacturers and distributors come together for the EDS Leadership Summit. Octopart will embrace this year’s theme, “Better Together,” immersing itself in the invaluable days of networking opportunities, inspiring speakers, and pivotal meetings. Embedded within the theme “Better Together” lies the notion that we are stronger as an industry when we collaborate, share insights, and work together toward a common goal.

Unlike the typical tradeshow environment, where all of the action takes place on the convention floor, EDS balances scheduled, one-on-one meetings, educational programs, and networking opportunities. From industry-hosted breakfasts and receptions to planned and impromptu meetings at the Connections Cafe, this unique event format provides a platform for Octopart to connect with like-minded leaders who share our vision for the future.

The EDS Leadership Summit is more than an industry gathering. It serves as an opportunity to unite and collaborate toward a stronger future in the electronic components industry. Whether you’re already working with Octopart or just interested in learning more, please schedule your meeting with us today!
