Our Take
Why Exhibit
AIUM is the dedicated ultrasound show in the US, concentrating the entire ultrasound ecosystem -- from sonographers to POCUS champions to OB/GYN specialists -- in one venue. If you sell ultrasound equipment, probes, AI, or accessories, this is the most targeted audience available.
Why Skip
Smaller show (~2,500) compared to RSNA or HIMSS where ultrasound is one of many modalities but the audience is larger. Hotel venue in Philadelphia limits booth sizes. If your product is not ultrasound-specific, the narrow focus works against you. Sonographers have limited purchasing authority compared to radiologists or department heads.
Insider Tips
Ultrasound-specific show means every attendee is relevant to ultrasound companies -- no wasted booth time. Hotel venue keeps costs lower but limits booth ambitions. Pair with RSNA (broad radiology) for complete imaging coverage.
Buzzbox Score: 7.3 / 10 (Strong)
7.3 out of 10. A solid, dependable show for the right exhibitor. Carried by cost efficiency (9.2: $20/sqft, under the $39 median and cost per qualified buyer runs ~$8.4). The lightest dimension is editorial value (7.0, honest "who should skip" guidance).
