Why companies exhibit at ECS: relationships with customers and partners, visibility in the Microsoft community, and business that continues after the event.

Why networking matters

Five reasons to be present

01

Long-term relationships

Conversations at ECS build the trust that later collaboration and sales depend on.

Your company in front of a focused audience of Microsoft customers, partners and experts.

04

Seeing how others position their offerings helps you sharpen your own.

05

Partnerships

ECS is where many joint projects and partnerships between exhibitors and customers begin.

From our sponsors

Why sponsors come back

“At ECS, we always generate ‘very good’ leads – in most cases these leads have become long-term customers. Therefore, we sometimes ask, ‘Can we afford not to be a sponsor?’”

Brand awareness

Presence that builds trust

Customers who know and trust a company come back and recommend it. Regular presence at ECS builds that recognition in the Microsoft community.

  • Credibility: peers and customers see your expertise first-hand.
  • A clear image: presence shows commitment to the community, not only to the next deal.
  • Word of mouth: recommendations from peers carry more weight than advertising.
