Our Take
Why Exhibit
Best-value entry into the New England medtech corridor. $5k minimum booth cost and intimate scale (1,500 attendees) make it ideal for startups and smaller suppliers testing the waters. Innovation Showcase program offers visibility at reduced cost. If your target customer is a Boston-area device OEM, this is the most efficient show.
Why Skip
Small attendance limits lead volume. Serious supply chain deals are more likely to close at MD&M West or COMPAMED. Companies already exhibiting at MD&M shows may find MEDevice redundant.
Insider Tips
The real value here is proximity to the Boston/Cambridge medtech ecosystem -- attend with a list of target companies pre-scheduled for booth meetings. Don't rely on walk-up traffic alone at 1,500 attendees. The Innovation Showcase is a great low-cost option for startups.
