Our Take
Why Exhibit
VAM is THE vascular surgery buying show in North America, with 3,500 attendees who are primarily practicing vascular surgeons -- the exact buyer for endovascular devices, stent grafts, and vascular access products. CORC Expo management means professional exhibit operations.
Why Skip
Narrow audience compared to broader cardiology shows like ACC or TCT. If your device is used outside the OR (e.g., point-of-care diagnostics), the vascular surgeon audience may not be your primary buyer. Hynes Convention Center in Boston has higher ancillary costs (drayage, labor) than Sun Belt venues.
Insider Tips
CORC Expo is a solid exhibit management company -- responsive and organized. Boston in June is pleasant but hotels are expensive; book early. Vascular surgeons are hands-on decision-makers, so live demo stations with actual product handling outperform slide presentations.
