Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

The resurgent Engineering Design Show exceeded expectations. Ineltek's stand had a steady stream of relevant visitors from a variety of technology businesses. The two days flew by; we never reached the point where we had to kill time visiting other stands. EDS is back with a bang!
Adam Miller
Field Sales Engineer, Ineltek
DS is focused on getting good-quality visitors and we have noticed that people who are visiting EDS are looking for very specific services. We had plenty of good conversations…there was various types of people who were visiting our stand, looking for a variety of things.
Thomas Webber
Business Development Manager, Mindsailors
EDS is a great place to meet all sorts of people who need all sorts of weird and wonderful applications for products. The show has been a great help and very busy. The reason why EDS is so good is that people come to you. Beyond the targeted markets of people we usually try to sell to, we have met people we weren’t really aware of. The show allows you to be found rather than going out and finding the leads yourself.
Jack Hughes
Business Development Manager, Micronel
EDS had an excellent atmosphere with each exhibitor stand providing clear and accessible information on products and services. An invaluable event to keep up with technologies in engineering and hear from industry leaders.

Engineering Design Show is an exhibition not to be missed. It’s an excellent event for networking and has a strong conference programme.
Jasmin Shearan
Account Manager, Sciad Communications
EDS is the simplest way to find everyone in one place. Many companies presented their novelties, and all had something new and exciting to show off.
Daniela Gonzalez
CEO & Managing Director, BARO
This was the first time Decade Monitoring solutions visited the engineering design show. We would recommend this to our customers to attend in the future. The environment was very friendly, we spoke to many of our clients and there was some amazing digital engineering on display, many solutions for a better future.
