Electronics Sourcing’s publisher, Mark Leary, reviews the 2023 Electronic Component Show and introduces readers to two events planned for 2024.
ECS 2023 took place on 25 May in Oxford, attracting nearly double the visitors compared to the previous year’s show. Featuring 69 exhibitors, the event provided design engineers and supply chain professionals with the opportunity to meet current, new or alternative suppliers.
The seminar program proved popular, including a presentation by Jaguar Land Rover’s Daniel Grundy.
With added benefits including complimentary tea and coffee, £5 food voucher, pick-and-mix sweet trolley and afternoon ice pops, visitors and exhibitors enjoyed the welcoming added touches.
With growing visitor numbers, plus a sold-out event in record time, 2024 will see two ECS one-day shows. The first event takes place on Thursday 23 May 2024 at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridge, followed by the second gathering on Thursday 19 September 2024 at the Kassam stadium, Oxford.
Electronics Sourcing’s publisher, Mark Leary, said: “When looking at the geographical locations of readers we have two notable regions located within two hours’ drive of Cambridge and Oxford. Post show feedback from visitors and exhibitor proves they like the one-day format and the ECS team has already started work planning the two events for 2024 to ensure we provide the best one-day show for the industry.”
