EDS 2021 has been cancelled.
Visit EDS Summit for details regarding the cancellation …
Why is EDS being cancelled?
EDS has been closely monitoring the recent increase in COVID-19 infections.
This action was taken out of concerns received from EDS attendees, cancellations of similarly sized conferences in the U.S., and the increased volume of confirmed cases of coronavirus throughout the country.
In light of the risk to the health and safety of EDS attendees, staff and ECIA/ERA/GEDA members, the EDS Board believes that cancellation of this première industry event is in everyone’s best interest.
Emails to companies who rented space, Affiliates and Attendee registrants detailing the refund/rollover procedures will be going out soon.
Registrants are asked to allow 2 weeks to process refunds.

Important Note on COVID Protocols
The EDS Board wants everyone to feel comfortable participating in the meetings and social events when attending the Summit. The Board continues to monitor the situation and review the Summit’s safety protocols. For instance, special accommodations are being made for the All Industry Reception. A larger venue has been secured for safer social distancing. The EDS Board voted unanimously to move forward with EDS 2021. “EDS remains one of the most valuable, productive events we have in the industry”, said Board Member Tony Roybal.
Based on the Board’s review of the current CDC, state and local guidelines, EDS has implemented updated protocols. While we intend for the event to go forward as planned, the event may be impacted by future guidance from Federal and local authorities and protocols will be adjusted as warranted.

2021 EDS Update: Las Vegas Mask Requirements
Don’t get rid of your masks just yet.
Beginning today, Clark County, Nevada will mandate that everyone – both vaccinated and unvaccinated – wear masks in public indoor settings in regions that include Las Vegas. This follows the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.
It’s a little frustrating, we know, but keeping everyone safe is on the top of the list.
Our venue, the Mirage, remains completely open and welcoming guests, but masks will now be required in most public areas.
Keep in mind, if you are fully vaccinated, any risk of a breakthrough infection remains low, according to the CDC. Wearing a mask protects you even further and keeps those around you safe.
EDS is committed to a safe, smooth and rewarding event. We’ll continue to keep you updated. See you at the Summit!
