Formulary talk, small floor: AMCP Nexus 2027 booths in Orlando
We design AMCP Nexus booths where a health plan pharmacy director can sit down and talk value data, rebates and formulary placement away from the aisle. In 2026 Shepard ran freight through a Chula Vista advance warehouse; for Orlando we file every Nexus form and book the targets.

What makes AMCP Nexus different, and how we build for it
AMCP Nexus is the fall meeting of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, and its expo is small on purpose: 48 exhibiting companies in 2025 against 2,647 attendees.AMCP sells every 10×10 with an 8-foot back drape, mandatory booth carpet and one full registration per 100 square feet, then adds four product theaters, Spotlight Sessions and furnished networking lounges around the floor. The expo also hosts 300+ scientific posters, so plan and PBM pharmacists come through to read outcomes research as well as to meet vendors. Shepard was the 2026 general service contractor, and next year's booths are picked in the Expo Hall Sales Office during this year's meeting.
Clinical and cost evidence they can take to a P&T committee, a straight answer on contracting and rebate structure, and a quiet seat to talk utilization management without the next booth listening.
Peers to compare value frameworks with, poster authors to meet, and a booth that shows outcomes data as charts a plan pharmacist can read in under a minute.
Data, analytics and services that fit Medicare Part D, Medicaid and commercial plans, explained by someone who knows formulary operations, not by a scripted demo.
Your team in Orlando
Two shops and one project manager for AMCP Nexus
We fabricate in our own Fishkill, NY shop and our Las Vegas hub, then ship to the Orlando World Center Marriott, where our own project manager leads the install with vetted local labor. Builds take a predictable 30 to 45 days, with secure storage and pre-show QA.
Your team arrives at AMCP Nexus to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.
Inside AMCP Nexus 2027
AMCP Nexus rules that shape your booth
AMCP requires carpet in every Nexus booth and includes no flooring, tables or chairs, only drape and an ID sign (2026 rules). We ship carpet, padding and furniture with your booth so nothing depends on late kit orders.
At Nexus 2026 rigging is allowed only for islands of 20×20 or larger, with AMCP's approval, and Encore is the rigging provider. We draw the hanging sign, send it for approval and book the rigging; inline booths get a lit back wall instead.
AMCP's Nexus meeting rooms allow internal meetings any time and networking events only outside official sessions; educational programs may not be hosted (2026 rules). We plan your room as a customer meeting space with a portable graphic kit.
For Nexus 2026 the EAC form and a certificate of insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence naming AMCP, the venue and Shepard were due October 13. We file both for you as soon as the 2027 kit posts its date.
Programs worth planning for
Four product theaters run alongside the Nexus expo in 2026, giving manufacturers a sponsored stage for brand and disease-state presentations to managed care attendees; booked through AMCP's sponsorship gallery.
In-person 15-, 30- and 60-minute sponsored slots for drug therapy, technology and disease-state education, sold by AMCP as a Nexus sponsorship option rather than accredited education.
A 10×10 at $3,400 for emerging companies at Nexus 2026, against the $5,200 standard rate; eligibility is set by AMCP's exhibits team.
AMCP Nexus is the fall managed care pharmacy meeting with under fifty exhibitors; choose it over AMCP's spring annual meeting when your launch timing or formulary cycle needs plan and PBM decision makers in October. Every pharma and biotech show we build for, side by side →

02 Booths & pricing for AMCP Nexus 2027
Popular booth sizes at AMCP Nexus
AMCP sells Nexus space in 10×10 units at $5,200 each in 2026, with corner and island upgrades, and the 2025 expo held 48 companies. Biopharma brands with a launch typically take a 10×20 or a 20×20 island; data and PBM service firms do well in a 10×20 with a two-chair meeting nook.

Two connected 10×10 units: a value dossier wall with three outcome charts, a 55-inch screen for the analytics demo and a two-chair nook for a plan director.

Booths we designed, built and installed: a few to compare for AMCP Nexus







Case study · SpecialtyRx
SpecialtyRx at a healthcare trade show
Elevated circular branding and LED tiles on a custom island that stayed busy from open to close and was visible across the whole floor.
SpecialtyRx's island kept pharmacy buyers busy from open to close; Nexus has fewer than fifty exhibitors, so that same visibility carries across the whole managed care floor.

04 Designing for biopharma, PBM service, data and managed care consulting companies at AMCP Nexus
Four things we get right for AMCP Nexus exhibitors
1Carpet is part of every Nexus booth
AMCP makes booth carpet mandatory at Nexus and includes no flooring, tables or chairs with the drape. We ship our own carpet and padding cut to your footprint, so you are not ordering it piece by piece from the contractor's kit after the advance rate ends.
2Thirteen hours, many unopposed
AMCP counts about thirteen exhibiting hours at Nexus 2026, including unopposed time during the opening reception and an all-attendee luncheon. We design for bursts: a counter that clears ten visitors in minutes and a back nook where one plan director can stay for twenty.
3Posters pull a reading crowd
Nexus pairs the expo with 300+ scientific posters, so attendees arrive in a data frame of mind. We set your outcomes and real-world evidence as large, plain charts on the back wall, with the study citation in readable type, so a PBM pharmacist can follow it from the aisle.
4Meetings go in AMCP rooms
AMCP rents private meeting rooms by the day at Nexus and allows networking events only outside scheduled sessions, never educational programs. We keep the booth for introductions and brand, and build a portable kit of graphics and a monitor for the meeting room you book.

Concept rendering
Your AMCP Nexus proposal comes with a rendering like this

Logistics for AMCP Nexus 2027, handled
AMCP Nexus moves to the Orlando World Center Marriott in 2027, a resort with its own ballrooms rather than a convention center, so freight, docks and booth hours follow the hotel's exhibit schedule. In the 2026 cycle Shepard was the general service contractor, its Chula Vista advance warehouse took crates from September 25, and Nexus wanted its EAC paperwork and insurance certificate by October 13. We register as your exhibitor-appointed contractor with Shepard, time the crates to the 2027 targets, then build on site with vetted Orlando labor under our project manager.
Hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for the building that hosts AMCP Nexus are in our Orlando World Center Marriott exhibitor guide.

AMCP Nexus exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before AMCP Nexus
How much does a booth at AMCP Nexus 2027 cost?
Space is AMCP's line: $5,200 per 10×10 in 2026, plus $500 per corner and $1,500 for an island. Our build sits on top. A 10×20 rental from Purple runs $7,500 to $15,000; a 20×20 custom island runs $50,000 to $120,000. Carpet, which AMCP requires, and resort drayage are what move the total here.
When do we reserve space for AMCP Nexus 2027?
Nexus 2027 booths are sold in the Expo Hall Sales Office during Nexus 2026, which runs its expo October 27–28, 2026 in Chula Vista, and Nexus 2026 exhibitors hold first right of renewal. Companies not exhibiting this year reserve on AMCP's floor plan once 2027 sales open; we can bring a footprint plan to either.
Can we rent a booth for AMCP Nexus, and what does a rental include?
A Purple rental for Nexus includes the frame, fabric graphics printed for your brand, LED lighting, a counter, a meeting nook with chairs and the carpet AMCP requires, with shipping, setup and teardown priced together in a single fixed quote. When the expo closes, the structure comes back to us and only your graphics go home.
Are there discounted booth rates for nonprofits or emerging companies?
AMCP lists a $2,800 nonprofit rate and a $3,400 emerging company rate for Nexus 2026, both for a single 10×10 only, with eligibility set by AMCP's exhibits team. New companies that join as AMCP corporate members save $5 per square foot. We size a compact rental to fit inside that one unit.
Can we hold a customer meeting or reception at AMCP Nexus?
AMCP sells private meeting rooms at Nexus by the day, $2,700 to $5,250 in 2026, booked first come, first served. Internal meetings are allowed any time, networking events only outside scheduled Nexus events, and no educational programs at all. AV and catering go through AMCP's official contractors; we bring the graphics and screen.
Who is the general contractor at AMCP Nexus, and can you handle the orders?
Shepard was the general service contractor and logistics provider for Nexus 2026, with Encore on electrical and rigging and Freeman on audio-visual; the 2027 roster is not confirmed yet. We register as your exhibitor-appointed contractor, place the Shepard orders, file the insurance certificate and send you every confirmation.
Can we hang a sign over our AMCP Nexus booth?
In 2026 AMCP allowed rigging only for islands of 20×20 or larger, with AMCP approval, through Encore. Inline booths stay under the 8-foot back drape height, so we put the brand on a lit back wall instead. For an island we draw the sign, submit it for approval and book the rigging.
Can we reuse our AMCP Nexus booth at other shows?
Managed care exhibitors meet the same buyers at AMCP's spring meeting, Asembia AXS and ISPOR, so we build Nexus booths in panels that reconfigure from a 10×20 to an island. Between meetings we store the panels, and we swap graphics when a launch or label changes.
When is AMCP Nexus 2027?
AMCP Nexus 2027 runs October 18–21, 2027 in Orlando, Florida. Exhibit hall days and hours are not confirmed yet. The most recent edition, AMCP Nexus 2026, runs October 26–29, 2026, with its expo open October 27 and 28.
Where is AMCP Nexus 2027 held?
At the Orlando World Center Marriott, 8701 World Center Drive in Orlando, according to AMCP's future meetings list. AMCP has also published the next two: Nexus 2028 at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado, October 9–12, and Nexus 2029 in Oxon Hill, Maryland, October 22–25.
How many people attend AMCP Nexus?
AMCP reported 2,647 attendees and 48 exhibiting companies for Nexus 2025 in National Harbor. For Nexus 2026 it describes 3,000+ attendees and health influencers, 500+ health care decision makers and 30% of attendees at director level or above. Figures for 2027 are not confirmed yet.
Who organizes AMCP Nexus?
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, based in Alexandria, Virginia, organizes Nexus every fall and AMCP's annual meeting every spring. AMCP's own exhibits team sells booth space and sponsorships, and Maritz handled registration, housing and lead retrieval for the 2026 meeting.
How do we get a booth at AMCP Nexus?
Pick a booth on AMCP's online floor plan, or in the Expo Hall Sales Office during the current meeting, and contract through AMCP's exhibits team. The booth comes with drape, an ID sign for booths up to 300 square feet and registrations. Then send us the booth number and we start the design.
Ask these before you sign
Ask any AMCP Nexus exhibit builder these five questions:
- Will the proposal show every AMCP Nexus fee, including show contractor charges?
- Who actually builds it for AMCP Nexus: your shop or a subcontractor?
- Is your project manager on the floor for install and dismantle?
- What exactly is in the rental, and what does AMCP Nexus bill?
- Where is the booth stored after the show, and at what cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Bring it: we refresh the graphics, repair what is worn, ship it, install it at AMCP Nexus and store it until the next show. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to AMCP Nexus.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground in Orlando: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager answering your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? In two to three weeks, a rental with your graphics can be ready for Orlando. The first call tells you what is realistic for your date.
