Why exhibit at AUA
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 exhibit at SUFU
The only standalone meeting dedicated to urodynamics and female pelvic medicine. Every attendee is a potential buyer for pelvic floor devices, neuromodulation systems, and urodynamics equipment. Small enough for high-quality conversations with KOLs who set practice patterns.
Why skip AUA
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.
Why skip SUFU
Only 800 attendees: total market reach is very limited. For broader urology exposure, exhibiting at AUA (12,000+ attendees) or the SUFU session within AUA is more cost-effective. Puerto Rico location adds shipping complexity.
