ANS Annual Conference 2027Lake Buena Vista exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines

The 2027 ANS Annual Conference runs June 13–16, 2027, per the ANS meetings calendar, with the embedded topicals DESD/RRSD 2027 and AccApp '27. The 2027 exhibit schedule is not confirmed yet; in 2026 the exhibit tables opened on the first evening and stayed open two full days.

The 2027 ANS Annual Conference is held at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, 1900 East Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, in the Disney Springs Resort Area. The 2026 Annual was at the Sheraton Denver and the 2025 Annual at the Chicago Marriott Downtown.

An ANS Annual exhibit table cost $2,000 for ANS organization members and $2,500 for non-members in 2026, including one full conference registration; 2027 prices are not confirmed yet. 2026 sponsorships ran from $3,500 to $50,000, and our tabletop kit is quoted on its own.

In 2026 each exhibit space was a 6-foot by 30-inch skirted table with two chairs for company materials, plus one complimentary full registration. The opening reception, luncheons and daily coffee were held in the exhibit area, so attendees pass the tables several times a day.

Reactor developers, fuel and component makers, instrumentation and software firms, and national labs. The 2026 Denver list included Holtec International, General Atomics, NuScale Power, Orano USA, BWXT, Oklo Inc., Ludlum Measurements, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Y-12 National Security Complex.

Based on 2025 data, ANS reports that 70% of attendees work in engineering, operations or technical leadership, 60% influence or make purchasing decisions, 40% are students or early-career, and 350+ organizations from 30+ countries take part.

ANS keeps commerce off the expo floor: exhibitors may not sell, post prices or write orders, and off-site rival events and non-exhibitor solicitation are banned too. Use your table for technical conversations and lead capture, then follow up with quotes after the meeting.

In 2026 exhibitors chose three preferred table numbers on the contract and could list companies they wanted to be near or away from; ANS assigned tables first-come, first-served. Book early if you want a spot near the session doors.

Summaries or abstracts are due January 15, 2027, authors hear by February 5, and revised summaries are due February 26, 2027. ANS publishes accepted and presented summaries in its Transactions; presenters are expected to register.

Under the 2026 Annual contract, nobody may photograph or film without written permission from ANS, while ANS keeps the right to shoot your display for its own promotion. If you want pictures of your table, we ask ANS for consent first.

For a nuclear supplier, a $2,000 table in 2026 bought time with reactor engineers, national-lab researchers and the next generation of hires. It is a scientific meeting, so expect technical leads and partnerships rather than orders written on the floor.

The American Nuclear Society, whose conferences department handles exhibit contracts and sponsorships. ANS also runs the Winter Conference & Expo, set for October 31 to November 3, 2027 in Washington, DC.

The tabletop kit goes straight to the ANS Winter Conference in Washington and to WM2027's small-business tabletops, and its graphics scale to a POWERGEN booth. We keep the kit in storage between meetings and refresh the panels when your data changes.
