Our Take
Why Exhibit
The only major US meeting focused exclusively on cervical spine surgery and research. At ~600 attendees, every person in the room is a cervical spine specialist or closely adjacent. If you sell cervical spine implants, instrumentation, or navigation systems, CSRS delivers the highest concentration of target buyers anywhere.
Why Skip
Very small show with limited exhibit space. If your device is not cervical-spine-specific (e.g., lumbar-only or general orthopedic), the audience is too narrow. ROI depends on high-value per-contact relationships rather than volume.
Insider Tips
Hotel-based meeting means small exhibit hall with limited booth options. Focus on relationship-building -- this is a dinner-and-demo show, not a booth-traffic show. Pair with NASS or AANS for broader spine coverage.
