Is ASAPS/Aesthetic Meet worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The most targeted aesthetic/cosmetic surgery audience in the US: members are board-certified plastic surgeons who focus on aesthetics, plus a growing cohort of nurse injectors and med spa owners. If you sell injectables, lasers, body contouring devices, or skincare, this is the highest-intent buyer audience per square foot of any aesthetics show.
Why Skip
Small show with premium pricing and opaque booth costs. The audience is exclusively cosmetic. If your device serves reconstructive, trauma, or general surgery, ASPS (PSTM) is a better fit. Also, the booth point system makes it difficult for first-time exhibitors to secure good locations.
What should exhibitors know before ASAPS/Aesthetic Meet?
Premium audience, premium pricing. Live demos and hands-on workshops drive the most traffic. Boston venue in May is excellent. Consider co-exhibiting with a distributor if this is your first year to leverage their booth points.
