AAGL 2026
By Buzzbox Media · Last reviewed August 3, 2026
What is AAGL?
AAGL Global Congress is the flagship and premier US meeting for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, drawing the fellowship-trained MIS surgeons who set the standard of care for laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, robotic, and vaginal procedures. Every attendee is either a practicing MIS specialist, a FMIGS fellow, or a surgical trainee on the FMIGS pathway, which means the exhibit hall is a concentrated room of current and future buyers across endometriosis, fibroid, sacrocolpopexy, endometrial ablation, hysterectomy, sterilization, and MIS oncology programs. The Congress format pairs hands-on cadaver and simulation labs with surgical video sessions, oral abstracts, panel debates, industry-supported symposia, and CME-accredited breakfasts and receptions. Welcome and President's receptions deliver curated networking with society leadership. For device manufacturers in laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, energy, optics, and surgical robotics, this is the single highest-density audience of the year.

Why Exhibit

Why Skip
Wrong fit for vendors selling outside MIS gynecology. General surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, and primary care equipment will not find their buyer on this floor. Skip if your target buyer is a hospital purchasing committee rather than a practicing surgeon, or if you sell DTC patient-facing reproductive brands. Hospital admin or IT solutions and broad medical supplies vendors are better served by ACOG, AUGS, or SGS.
What should exhibitors know before AAGL?
The Congress includes CME-accredited industry-supported symposia and surgical video competition sessions that map well to product education. Attendance and exhibitor count have been growing year over year, with notable international representation from EU and APAC MIS surgeons.
What is the Buzzbox Score for AAGL?
9.4 / 10 (Exceptional)
9.4 out of 10. One of the strongest exhibiting opportunities in our index. Carried by audience quality (10.0: 90% of attendees hold purchasing authority and hands-on / cadaver lab draws engaged clinicians). The lightest dimension is data transparency (8.4, exhibitor count disclosed, and attendee purchasing-authority data published).
How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Standout (10.0): 90% of attendees hold purchasing authority, hands-on / cadaver lab draws engaged clinicians, and curated / invitation-only audience.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Strong (8.4): exhibitor count disclosed, and attendee purchasing-authority data published.
Strong (8.7): run by SPARGO (well-regarded show management), non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and purpose-built convention venue.
Standout (10.0): rich, specific exhibitor case, honest "who should skip" guidance, and the flagship / largest show in its niche.
Strong (8.5): mid-size with room to grow and growing year over year.

The factors still scored are audience quality, data transparency, exhibitor experience, editorial value, and growth trajectory. Each factor is scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band, and every conference in our index cleared a relevance bar to be listed, so 7.0 is the floor.
