Our Take
Why Exhibit
8,000+ urology professionals in one place. Strong mix of community and academic urologists who actively evaluate robotics, laser systems, endoscopic instruments, and implants. Business Suites offer private meeting rooms for high-value conversations outside the exhibit floor.
Why Skip
Purely urology-focused. If your device crosses into general surgery or other specialties, a broader meeting like ACS delivers more diverse buyer access. The $44/sqft rate is on the higher side for a specialty meeting.
Insider Tips
The Emerging Corner package is ideal for startups launching new urology products -- turnkey with lead retrieval included. Business Suites (starting at $10K) offer an alternative to exhibit floor presence for companies focused on private physician meetings.
