Our Take
Why Exhibit
AANEM is the only dedicated US meeting for neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine professionals. If you manufacture EMG systems, nerve conduction devices, or neuromuscular ultrasound equipment, this concentrates your exact buyer in one small venue. The intimate format enables extended product demonstrations.
Why Skip
Very small show (~1,500 attendees) with a narrow audience. If your device has broader neurology applications, AAN is a much larger venue. Hotel venue limits exhibit options. The EDX market is mature with established players (Natus, Nihon Kohden), so breaking in requires strong differentiation.
Insider Tips
Niche of a niche -- but if EMG/NCS equipment is your market, this is the must-attend show. Small enough that every exhibitor gets real face time. Consider the UltraEMG event as a secondary touchpoint for the same audience.
Buzzbox Score: 8.6 / 10 (Excellent)
8.6 out of 10. A top-tier show worth a serious line item. Carried by cost efficiency (9.8: $9/sqft, well below the $39 median and cost per qualified buyer runs ~$7.8). The lightest dimension is growth trajectory (7.0, small footprint). AANEM is the only dedicated US meeting for neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine professionals.
