Ophthalmology Conferences for Exhibitors

7 conferences · Updated monthly

Ophthalmology has the most commercially productive conference circuit in medicine relative to its size. AAO (26,000 attendees, $45/sqft) is the flagship -- broad audience, all subspecialties represented. ASCRS (10,000 attendees, $39/sqft) is the most commercially productive ophthalmic show because every attendee performs cataract or refractive surgery and actively evaluates new IOLs, phaco equipment, and laser platforms. ARVO (11,000 attendees, non-profit rate $9/sqft) is the research show -- ideal for companies with clinical data to present. AGS (1,650, resort format at the Ritz-Carlton) is the most intimate, and ASRS (3,000) serves retina specialists exclusively. The ophthalmology calendar clusters heavily in spring and fall, so plan your exhibit schedule 12+ months out.
