SRS 2026
By Buzzbox Media · Last reviewed August 3, 2026
What is SRS?
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.

Is SRS worth exhibiting?
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.
What should exhibitors know before SRS?
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.
What is the Buzzbox Score for SRS?
8.0 / 10 (Excellent)
8.0 out of 10. A top-tier show worth a serious line item. The lightest dimension is growth trajectory (7.0, small footprint).
How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Strong (8.7): 70% purchasing authority.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Solid (7.4): attendee purchasing-authority data published, and all-in cost estimate available.
Solid (7.3): society-run exhibits (in-house) and non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in).
Solid (7.7): solid exhibitor rationale, honest "who should skip" guidance, and broad device-category relevance.
Solid (7.0): small footprint.

How does Buzzbox Media score SRS?
SRS carries a Buzzbox Score of 8.0 out of 10 (Excellent), with one caveat on this record: cost efficiency is not scored, because Scoliosis Research Society publishes no booth price we can link to, and the overall score was set before that figure was withdrawn. The factors still scored are audience quality, data transparency, exhibitor experience, editorial value, and growth trajectory. Each factor is scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band, and every conference in our index cleared a relevance bar to be listed, so 7.0 is the floor. On this record the highest is audience quality at 8.7 and the lowest is growth trajectory at 7.0.
