Our Take
Why Exhibit
Ultra-targeted access to the surgeons who perform Whipple procedures, liver resections, and biliary reconstructions. Every attendee is a high-volume HPB specialist. Strong KOL engagement opportunity -- the meeting is small enough for meaningful one-on-one conversations with department chiefs.
Why Skip
Only ~1,200 attendees and ~40 exhibitors -- the total addressable market at the show is small. If you need volume or broad surgical reach, ACS or SAGES are better investments for the same budget.
Insider Tips
Hotel-based format keeps costs lower than convention center shows. High international (Latin American) attendance creates export market exposure. Regional association of IHPBA; the IHPBA World Congress (biennial) is the international version.
