Is ACAAI worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The more practice-oriented of the two A/I meetings, attracting community and private-practice allergists who make independent purchasing decisions for their offices. If you sell allergy testing devices, immunotherapy delivery systems, or practice management software, ACAAI attendees are more likely to be direct buyers than the academic audience at AAAAI.
Why Skip
Smaller audience (~3,000 vs AAAAI's 6,000) and lower KOL density. If you need clinical trial partnerships or academic endorsements, AAAAI is the better venue. Exhibiting at both AAAAI and ACAAI in the same year may be redundant for companies with limited trade show budgets.
What should exhibitors know before ACAAI?
Contact Jean Foellmer directly for pricing, booth costs not publicly listed. ACAAI = practice-focused, AAAAI = academic-focused. Phoenix in November is a pleasant venue draw.

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source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
