SRS 2026

Our Take
Why Exhibit
SRS members perform the most complex spine deformity surgeries in the world -- if you make spinal deformity implants, neuromonitoring equipment, or 3D surgical planning software, this is the highest-concentration audience possible. The international venue in Sydney provides access to Asia-Pacific spine leaders who are harder to reach at US shows.
Why Skip
2026 is in Sydney, Australia, which significantly increases travel costs and logistics for US-based companies. Very small show (~1,500) with a hyper-specialized audience. If your spine product is general (disc replacement, fusion for degenerative disease), NASS is a much better fit. The affiliate space request system suggests limited exhibit floor size.
Insider Tips
Sydney 2026 is a year to skip for US-only companies unless you have Asia-Pacific distribution ambitions. For domestic SRS years (rotates), this is essential for deformity-focused spine companies. Also consider IMAST as a separate exhibit opportunity. SRS rotates internationally -- check future locations before committing.
Buzzbox Score: 8.0 / 10 (Excellent)
8.0 out of 10. A top-tier show worth a serious line item. Carried by cost efficiency (9.8: $9/sqft, well below the $39 median and elevated cost per qualified buyer (~$13)). The lightest dimension is growth trajectory (7.0, small footprint).
