Is ASN Kidney Week worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The world's premier nephrology meeting with 13,000+ attendees, essential for dialysis equipment manufacturers, vascular access device companies, and CKD pharmaceutical firms. Nephrologists and dialysis center directors who attend are direct purchasers of capital dialysis equipment and consumables. Home dialysis is a fast-growing segment with strong buyer interest.
Why Skip
Pricing not publicly available: likely in the premium tier for a mega-show. Heavily dominated by major dialysis companies (Fresenius, Baxter, DaVita-affiliated) with massive booth investments. Smaller device companies may struggle for visibility against these giants. If your product does not serve nephrology-specific needs, this audience is too specialized.
What should exhibitors know before ASN Kidney Week?
Contact exhibits@asn-online.org for pricing, not publicly listed. Use 2025 prospectus as reference. Exhibitor office space ($18,000/20x20) is a premium option for pharma/device companies needing meeting space.
