Is FIME / WHX Miami worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The #1 show for reaching Latin American and Caribbean healthcare buyers from US soil. Miami location eliminates visa and logistics complexity that Hospitalar (Brazil) presents. If you want LatAm distribution without leaving the US, this is it.
Why Skip
Not a clinical/scientific conference: no educational sessions or CME credits drive traffic. US domestic buyers have better options at specialty-specific shows. Attendance is lower-density than the big mega shows (15k vs 90k at Hospitalar), so lead volume per dollar is lower if your primary target is Brazil specifically.
What should exhibitors know before FIME / WHX Miami?
FIME just rebranded to WHX Miami. Expect some market confusion in 2026. Long-time FIME exhibitors know the show well, but new prospects may not realize it's the same event. LatAm buyers are relationship-driven. Invest in hosted meetings and follow-up dinners in South Beach, not just booth traffic. Spanish and Portuguese booth staff are essential.

How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Solid (7.0): 50% purchasing authority (moderate) and large-scale event.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Strong (8.0): exhibitor count disclosed, and attendee purchasing-authority data published.
Strong (8.4): Informa-managed, non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and purpose-built convention venue.
Solid (7.9): honest "who should skip" guidance, 1,300+ exhibitors (deep competitive intel), and broad device-category relevance.
Standout (9.1): large and well-established, recently refreshed its format, and some uncertainty around the event.
