Is VIVA worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
VIVA is the only US show where interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, and vascular surgeons all attend together. If your device crosses specialty boundaries, this is uniquely efficient. The Las Vegas hotel venue and multispecialty faculty create a high-networking environment ideal for KOL cultivation.
Why Skip
Smaller than SVS VAM or TCT, so pure volume is limited. Las Vegas hotel venue (Bellagio) means premium exhibit costs. If your device is specialty-specific (e.g., only used by vascular surgeons), the multispecialty mix dilutes your target audience. Pricing is not publicly listed.
What should exhibitors know before VIVA?
Premium Vegas show: budget accordingly for hotel, meals, and entertainment. The multispecialty angle is genuinely unique and valuable for cross-discipline devices. The VEINS co-location adds venous device companies to the mix.
