Our Take
Why Exhibit
The highest purchasing-authority-per-dollar event in healthcare. 100+ IDN systems (Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, UPMC, Vanderbilt) staff booths and YOU walk up to THEM. $2,695 supplier registration gets you unlimited face time with Chief Supply Chain Officers and VPs of Procurement who collectively control billions in annual purchasing. No booth to build, no drayage, no electrical -- just show up and sell.
Why Skip
Not a traditional exhibit -- you can't display products or run demos. The Reverse Expo is only 4 hours on one afternoon, so the window is narrow. If you need extended product demonstrations or hands-on clinical education, this format doesn't support it. Also, if clinicians (surgeons, physicians) need to champion your product before procurement, this skips that step.
Insider Tips
The IDN Summit is the best-kept secret in medical device sales. At $2,695 you get more face time with actual buyers than a $50,000 booth at a clinical conference. The combo Spring+Fall package ($4,195) is insane value -- two events, twice the access. Come with a concise value prop and ROI data, not clinical posters. These are procurement people -- they want to know what it costs and what it saves.
