Our Take
Why Exhibit
AANA is the dedicated arthroscopy meeting, concentrating the surgeons who perform the most minimally invasive orthopaedic procedures in one venue. If you make arthroscopy instruments, cameras, shavers, suture anchors, or cartilage restoration products, this is your most targeted audience. The resort venue in Phoenix creates a relaxed networking atmosphere.
Why Skip
Small show (~2,000) with significant overlap with AOSSM and AAOS attendees. If you are already exhibiting at both of those, AANA may deliver diminishing returns. The resort venue limits booth sizes. May in Phoenix is HOT (100F+), which can deter some attendees.
Insider Tips
JW Marriott Desert Ridge is a beautiful resort venue -- plan for golf and dinner events to maximize networking. Arthroscopy-specific audience means every attendee is relevant. Watch for the name confusion: AANA (ortho) vs AANA (nurse anesthesiology).
