Is NANS worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The defining US neuromodulation meeting with 200+ exhibitors targeting physicians who implant spinal cord stimulators, DRG stimulators, and intrathecal pumps. If your device is in the neuromodulation space, this is non-negotiable. High exhibitor-to-attendee ratio means every attendee is highly targeted.
Why Skip
Dominated by the Big 4 neuromodulation companies (Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, Nevro) who take the largest booths and sponsorships. Small or emerging companies will struggle for visibility against their massive footprints. Narrow specialty means zero value for companies outside the neuromodulation vertical.
What should exhibitors know before NANS?
NANS is the most industry-dense neuromod show in the world. If you make SCS, DRG, PNS, DBS, or IDDS devices, you must be here. For companies adjacent to neuromod (imaging, navigation, surgical tools), the audience may be too narrow to justify the cost.
