Our Take
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. 120+ countries represented, $556M in business value. 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.
Insider Tips
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.
