Our First Year at the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show

Written by Nicole Cardarelli | September 26, 2025

On September 24–25, 2025, our team had the opportunity to exhibit at the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show (AEMS) for the very first time. Held at the Anaheim Convention Center, AEMS is one of the largest and longest-running electronics and manufacturing events on the West Coast. Each year it draws engineers, decision makers, and innovators from across the industry to connect, share ideas, and explore the latest technologies in electronics manufacturing, automation, and design.

With hundreds of exhibitors and technical sessions taking place over two days, the show offered a dynamic space to highlight solutions, discover emerging trends, and strengthen relationships within the electronics and manufacturing community. We were proud to be part of the show this year.

Our Presence at Booth 313

For our debut year, we brought along an SD-501 display unit, one of our popular chamber models, to give attendees a tangible look at AES technology. The display unit was the perfect conversation starter  allowing visitors to see the build quality, ask about testing capabilities, and better understand how AES chambers are used in real-world applications.

The booth was staffed by Aaron, our Vice President of Sales & Service, and Nick, our West Coast Account Manager. Aaron and Nick connected with attendees throughout the show, answering questions about our full line of test chambers, fixtures, and support services. Their combined expertise provided visitors with both a high-level view of AES’s commitment to safety and performance and a local perspective from our West Coast operations.

We were also proud to take part in one of the show’s most engaging promotions, the T-shirt Passport Program. As a T-shirt sponsor, AES was one of several booths that attendees needed to visit in order to stamp their passport and claim their free show T-shirt. This initiative kept the energy high on the exhibit floor and helped us meet many new faces who might not have otherwise stopped by. It was a fun way to spark conversations and share information.

Why Anaheim Mattered for AES

Although AES is headquartered in Acton, Massachusetts, we also operate a sales and service office in Santa Clara, California. Exhibiting at AEMS gave us the chance to highlight our West Coast presence and reinforce to customers and partners that we are positioned to provide support nationwide.

Attending a show in California also allowed us to engage directly with engineers, buyers, and decision makers who are building the future of electronics and manufacturing in the region. From discussing battery testing requirements to answering questions about environmental chamber performance, the conversations we had underscored how vital testing is to innovation across industries.

A Memorable First Year

Overall, our first year at the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show was a rewarding experience. We enjoyed the energy of the event, the opportunity to showcase AES technology, and, most importantly, the chance to connect with so many people who are shaping the electronics and manufacturing landscape.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth 313. We look forward to continuing the conversations started in Anaheim and building on the new connections we made.
