Nursing Conferences for Exhibitors

9 conferences · Updated monthly

Nursing conferences are undervalued by many device companies, but nurses increasingly drive purchasing decisions -- especially in critical care, perioperative, and specialty units. AORN (10,000 attendees, managed by MCI) is the perioperative nursing flagship. AACN NTI (9,000 attendees) serves critical care nurses and features ExpoEd sessions with CE credits on the exhibit floor, which drives significantly more foot traffic. ANA/ANCC Magnet (14,000 attendees, 385+ exhibitors) is the largest nursing show by attendance. ENA serves emergency nurses. ONS serves oncology nurses. The common thread: nurses who attend these conferences have direct influence over product selection in their units.
