Our First Year at the Del Mar Electronics and Manufacturing Show

Written by Nicole Cardarelli | April 27, 2026

On April 22nd and 23rd, AES exhibited at the Del Mar Electronics and Manufacturing Show for the very first time, marking an exciting milestone for our team as we continue to grow our trade show calendar.

For those unfamiliar, the Del Mar Electronics and Manufacturing Show is a long-standing industry event and a sister show to the Anaheim Electronics and Manufacturing Show. Together, these shows bring together engineers, manufacturers, and technology providers focused on advancing innovation across electronics, testing, and manufacturing applications. The Del Mar show in particular offers a more regional, community-driven environment while still showcasing a strong mix of technical expertise and cutting-edge solutions.

Representing AES on the West Coast

Our booth was staffed by Aaron, Vice President of Sales and Service, and Nick, our West Coast Account Executive. Both were on-site engaging with attendees, discussing application challenges, and sharing how AES supports environmental testing needs across industries including aerospace, defense, battery, electronics, and beyond.

With our sales and service office based in Santa Clara, California, AES has a strong West Coast footprint that allows us to stay closely connected to customers in the region. Being at the Del Mar show made it even more meaningful for our team to meet face-to-face with both existing partners and new contacts while reinforcing our local presence.

Conversations That Matter

Throughout the two-day event, our team had the opportunity to connect with engineers and decision-makers who are actively working through real-world testing challenges. From temperature and humidity control to complex application-specific requirements, the conversations reflected exactly what AES is built for standard and customized, reliable testing solutions backed by hands-on expertise.

It was also a great opportunity to highlight our service capabilities and the support structure behind our chambers, ensuring customers know they have a dedicated team supporting them long after installation.

Looking Ahead

Overall, our first year at the Del Mar Electronics and Manufacturing Show was a success. We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hello, learn more about AES, or share their own testing needs with our team.

We’re already looking forward to returning next year and continuing to build on the relationships and momentum started at this year’s show.
