Our Take
Why Exhibit
A well-respected, mid-size radiology meeting with engaged attendees -- 98% are ARRS members, meaning high-quality radiology professionals, not casual walk-ins. At $4,500 for a 10x10, ARRS is one of the most affordable radiology shows in the US. Good for AI imaging, PACS, and diagnostic imaging companies that find RSNA too expensive.
Why Skip
Much smaller than RSNA. If your radiology product needs mass exposure, RSNA (50,000+ attendees) delivers more volume. ARRS is education-focused, so commercial booth traffic is lighter than RSNA.
Insider Tips
ARRS is the sleeper pick for radiology exhibitors on a budget. The $2,500 tabletop option is excellent for startups. Pittsburgh David L. Lawrence Convention Center is a non-union, LEED-certified venue -- drayage costs are lower than Chicago or San Francisco. Intimate enough that you can meet every attendee on the floor.
