Our Take
Why Exhibit
The #1 gateway to Latin America's healthcare markets. Brazil alone is the 6th largest medical device market globally. 91,000+ attendees with significant government procurement officers make this essential for companies expanding into LatAm.
Why Skip
Brazil's ANVISA regulatory pathway is complex and slow. Companies without existing Brazilian registration or a local importer/distributor will collect leads they can't convert for 12-24 months. Portuguese-language materials are essential -- English-only booths underperform badly.
Insider Tips
US companies should strongly consider the Kallman Worldwide US Pavilion -- it handles logistics, customs, booth infrastructure, and on-site support. Going solo in Brazil adds complexity (customs/import of booth materials, local labor rules, Portuguese signage requirements). Budget accordingly.
Buzzbox Score: 9.5 / 10 (Exceptional)
9.5 out of 10. One of the strongest exhibiting opportunities in our index. Carried by growth trajectory (10.0: mega-scale and stable and adding floor space / new pavilions). The lightest dimension is cost efficiency (7.4, $100/sqft, top-of-market pricing). The #1 gateway to Latin America's healthcare markets.

Strong (8.7): Informa-managed, non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and purpose-built convention venue.
Standout (9.3): honest "who should skip" guidance, the flagship / largest show in its niche, and innovation / startup pavilion.
