Our Take
Why Exhibit
The #1 show for selling digital health, EHR-integrated products, and patient monitoring to hospital IT and admin buyers. Where enterprise deals start.
Why Skip
Wrong audience for clinician-first devices (surgical instruments, implants). Pure clinical audiences are thin here.
Insider Tips
HIMSS buyers expect polished demo environments. Booth AV and live EHR demos matter more than giveaways.
