Ophthalmology Conferences for Exhibitors

7 conferences · Updated monthly

Work with Buzzbox Media, a medical device and healthcare marketing agency.

Ophthalmology has the most commercially productive conference circuit in medicine relative to its size. AAO (26,000 attendees) is the flagship, broad audience, all subspecialties represented. ASCRS (10,000 attendees) 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) 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.

Where these booth cost figures come from

Every figure on this page is an estimate read from the organizer's own published exhibitor prospectus, linked below. They are estimates, not quotes, so confirm current pricing with the organizer before committing a budget. The other 3conferences on this page publish no booth pricing we can link to, so they show "Cost not published" rather than an estimate.
