Our Take
Why Exhibit
The largest gathering of foot and ankle surgeons and podiatric physicians in the world. If you sell foot/ankle implants, fixation devices, biologics, wound care products, or podiatric surgical instruments, ACFAS is mandatory. At $33-35/sqft, it is very affordable for a specialty surgical show. Las Vegas venue keeps attendees on-site and booth traffic strong.
Why Skip
Purely podiatric/foot-ankle audience. Orthopaedic foot & ankle surgeons are split between ACFAS and AOFAS -- if your target is orthopaedic (MD) surgeons rather than podiatric (DPM) surgeons, AOFAS is the better show. The $2,500 first-time exhibitor fee adds cost for new companies.
Insider Tips
ACFAS and AOFAS serve overlapping but distinct audiences -- ACFAS is DPMs (podiatric surgeons), AOFAS is MDs (orthopaedic foot/ankle). Many device companies exhibit at both. The Venetian/Sands Expo in Las Vegas is non-union, which keeps drayage and labor costs low. February in Vegas is ideal weather. The $2,500 first-time exhibitor fee is unusual -- budget for it.
