Is USCAP worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The largest academic pathology meeting in North America with 4,000+ attendees from 70+ countries. NPI number on badge barcodes means you can confirm attendees are credentialed physicians (valuable for follow-up). At $3,500 for a standard booth, entry cost is very reasonable for a specialized medical meeting.
Why Skip
Heavy academic/research orientation means slower purchasing cycles than commercially-focused shows. Attendees are evaluating science, not shopping. If you need immediate purchase orders, ADLM's 80%-will-buy audience is a better fit. Sells out early, late applicants may be shut out.
What should exhibitors know before USCAP?
