  • The EDS website is a great source of information! Please consult the EDS 2025 tab and the Registration tab for participation rules, space options and ways to make contacts. Please remember that for security purposes and to maintain the integrity of the event, everyone in the show area is required to display an EDS 2025 badge.
  • If you do not currently receive EDS communications and would like to, please fill out this form to be added to the email list.
  • The participation fees for EDS 2025 are based on membership status at the time of registration. If you are unsure of your ECIA membership status, please confirm before registering for EDS.
