Orthopedic Conferences — medical conference exhibit hall

Orthopedic Conferences for Exhibitors

20 conferences · Updated monthly

Orthopedics is the second-largest exhibit market in medicine, anchored by AAOS (30,000 attendees, 600+ exhibitors, $42/sqft). Below AAOS, the specialty fragments into subspecialty shows that each serve a specific buyer: NASS for spine (3,500 attendees, $60/sqft), AAHKS for hip and knee arthroplasty ($70/sqft), OTA for trauma, and AOSSM for sports medicine. This fragmentation is actually good news for exhibitors -- it means you can target the exact surgeons who use your device type instead of competing against 600 companies at AAOS. Start with AAOS for brand awareness, then add one subspecialty show where your device has the strongest clinical fit.
