Is NAEMSP worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
Direct access to EMS medical directors who set protocols and approve equipment purchases for entire EMS systems. A single NAEMSP contact can influence purchasing for hundreds of ambulances and fire departments. 70% of attendees have direct purchasing or protocol authority.
Why Skip
Small meeting (~1,000 attendees) with limited exhibit floor space. If you need high-volume emergency medicine exposure, ACEP (8,000+) delivers far more contacts. NAEMSP is prehospital-specific. Hospital-based ED devices don't fit well here.
What should exhibitors know before NAEMSP?
High purchasing authority percentage (70%) despite small size: these are the medical directors who write EMS protocols and approve equipment lists. Hotel-based meeting keeps costs modest. January timing in Tampa is favorable for weather.

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source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.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): non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in).
