Is POSNA worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit

Why Skip
Very small audience. General orthopaedic devices are better served at AAOS. Limited exhibit hall means few booths and lower foot traffic compared to larger orthopaedic shows.
What should exhibitors know before POSNA?
POSNA is a tight-knit community. Everyone knows everyone. Relationship-building and sponsored educational events matter more than booth size. Orlando venue keeps travel costs reasonable.

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source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.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): 35% purchasing authority (clinician-heavy).
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Solid (7.0): attendee purchasing-authority data published, and all-in cost estimate available.
Solid (7.8): society-run exhibits (in-house), non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and exhibitor-friendly host city.
Solid (7.3): "who should skip" note included, the flagship / largest show in its niche, and a distinctive format.
Solid (7.4): small footprint and growing year over year.
