SNO 2026
Overview
SNO concentrates the entire brain tumor treatment community in one room -- neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and researchers. If you have a device or therapy used in neuro-oncology, there is no more targeted audience. The convention center venue in Philadelphia allows proper exhibit builds.

Our Take
Why Exhibit
SNO concentrates the entire brain tumor treatment community in one room -- neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and researchers. If you have a device or therapy used in neuro-oncology, there is no more targeted audience. The convention center venue in Philadelphia allows proper exhibit builds.
Why Skip
Extremely narrow audience -- if your product is not directly used in brain/CNS tumor treatment, this is not your show. The meeting is heavily science and pharma-driven, so pure device companies may feel out of place. Limited to ~3,000 attendees, so volume is modest. Pricing is not publicly listed.
Insider Tips
Niche show with a niche audience. If brain tumors are your market, this is essential. If not, skip entirely. Pharma dominates the floor, so device companies need strong clinical data to compete for attention.
