SPEAKER: Dennis Reed, Senior Analyst, Edgewater Research
Join us as we wrap up 2023, and look ahead to 2024 with guest speaker Dennis Reed, who will provide an overall summary of the critical data that’s been collected to-date from the ERA Electronic Components Industry Trends Survey. This monthly survey, launched in June 2023, focuses on valuable industry intelligence such as sales and booking trends, revenue growth trends, pricing outlook, book-to-bill ratios, end markets, inventory, lead times and more! Dennis will also compare and contrast the ERA members’ survey results with what he is seeing in his research with Edgewater. Come, listen and learn as we summarize trends from the latter half of 2023, as well as provide an outlook for early 2024. This is a not-to-be-missed session as we all plan for 2024.
