300 exhibitors, four-hour hall days: ASHP Midyear 2027 booths in Las Vegas
We design Midyear booths that teach a health-system pharmacy director something in ten minutes, because ASHP bans order taking on the floor and caps promotional demos at ten. Our Las Vegas shop builds and stores the booth, and we file Shepard, SPARGO and ASHP forms on your behalf.

What makes ASHP Midyear different, and how we build for it
ASHP calls the Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition the largest gathering of pharmacy professionals in the world: 20,005 registrants in Las Vegas in 2025.Its hall is open only three short middays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and ASHP treats it as education, so order taking and selling are banned on the floor. Around the booths sit the Innovation Learning Lab's 15-minute talks, one-hour Promotional Theaters, the Residency Showcase and the Personnel Placement Service, which fill the meeting with students and residents as well as directors. Booths for each Midyear are picked onsite a year ahead in Priority Point order, with SPARGO, Inc. running exhibits.
Automation, IV workflow, drug supply and informatics evidence they can bring to a capital or P&T discussion, with a contact who understands health-system budgets and the next fiscal year.
Product and therapy information they can use in practice: dosing, compatibility, stability and safety data, presented without sales pressure inside a short, crowded midday.
A quick sense of what your company does and how it fits hospital pharmacy work, because they pass the booth between Residency Showcase sessions and recruiting meetings.

Inside ASHP Midyear 2027
Rules that shape your ASHP Midyear booth
ASHP prohibits solicitation, order taking and selling in the exhibit hall and caps promotional demos at ten minutes, enforcing it by closing booths (2026 rules). We build for short teaching demos and lead capture, with pricing kept off the walls.
Midyear islands must keep at least 50% see-through visibility on all sides, top out at 25 feet with hanging signs 16 to 25 feet up, ban multi-level booths and cap main-aisle frontage at 50 feet (2026 rules). We draw to those limits for ASHP's review.
Linear booths keep everything under the 8-foot back wall, set solid construction over 4 feet at least 5 feet off the aisle and allow no hanging signs (2026 rules). Your tallest graphic lives on the back wall; the aisle side stays low and walk-in.
ASHP requires exhibitors to strip names, initials, ID numbers and likenesses from patient images, charts and text, or hold a signed consent letter, and removes content that breaks it (2026 rules). We check every case graphic before it goes to print.
Only certain packaged foods and nonalcoholic drinks may be handed out, after ASHP approves the giveaway form, bought through the venue caterer with Shepard porter service (2026 rules). We add a compact hospitality counter with hidden storage.
Programs worth planning for
15-minute company presentations on the exhibit hall floor where commercial organizations share product and company updates; $6,000 per lab in 2026, sold through SPARGO.
One-hour informational or promotional presentations held before or after official ASHP programming, outside the accredited program; booked through ASHP's exhibits and affiliate events team.
Invite attendees to your booth before or after official hall hours to demonstrate products and services, $4,600 in 2026.
Private meeting space close to your booth for staff lounges, staff meetings and private conversations with attendees, $11,000 in 2026.
ASHP Midyear is the largest U.S. pharmacy meeting, with 20,005 registrants in 2025 and a hospital focus; choose it over the APhA Annual Meeting when your buyers are health-system pharmacy directors, P&T committees and IV room teams rather than community pharmacists.

Four things we get right for ASHP Midyear exhibitors
1Ten-minute demos, no order pads
ASHP limits commercial demos and presentations in a booth to ten minutes and bans order taking and selling on the Midyear floor. We script the booth around short, repeatable demos and a lead scanner, and keep pricing conversations for the meeting room or the follow-up.
2Half the island must see through
ASHP's See-through Rule requires at least half of every island booth to be visible through on all sides, with a 25-foot height cap and no multi-level booths. We use open frames, glass and lit fabric rather than solid walls, so your island passes the drawing review.
3Three midday windows to staff
The 2026 hall opens 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, while sessions fill the mornings. We design for lunch-hour surges: a wide entry, several demo points and a counter where an extra staffer can badge-scan.
4Packaged food needs approval
Midyear exhibitors may hand out only certain packaged foods and nonalcoholic beverages, after ASHP approves a giveaway form, and must buy them through the venue caterer with Shepard porter service. We plan a small hospitality counter with storage and a trash point so it passes inspection.

Logistics for ASHP Midyear 2027, handled
ASHP has set Las Vegas for December 5–8, 2027 but not yet named the building; the 2025 Midyear filled the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. In 2026 Shepard Exposition Services is the general contractor, SPARGO, Inc. runs exhibits, and an outside builder may work the floor only if ASHP receives the exhibitor's written authorization a month ahead of the opening move-in day. Las Vegas is home to our hub: we build Midyear booths in our Fishkill shop, store them at the Las Vegas hub, and your own Purple project manager is on the floor to direct whatever labor the venue calls for.
What Purple handles
- Footprint planning for onsite Priority Point booth selection
- Island drawings that pass ASHP's See-through Rule and 25-foot cap
- The written contractor authorization and insurance ASHP requires
- Booth activity and giveaway approval forms

ASHP Midyear exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before ASHP Midyear
How much does a booth at ASHP Midyear 2027 cost?
ASHP charged $52 per square foot in 2026, so a 10×20 cost $10,400 in space before $550 corners; the 2027 price list is not confirmed yet. Purple's build is a separate line: a 10×20 rental from $7,500 to $15,000, a 20×20 custom island from $50,000 to $120,000. Working automation, rigging and island drawings move the number most here.
When do we pick our booth for ASHP Midyear 2027?
ASHP sells booth space onsite one year ahead, so Midyear 2027 space is chosen during Midyear 2026 in Orlando, December 6–9, 2026, in Priority Point order. Points come from booth size, hotel block use, exhibiting at both Pharmacy Futures and Midyear, and sponsorship or advertising spend. Later, remaining space sells first come, first served.
Can we rent a booth for ASHP Midyear?
We rent Midyear booths straight from our own Las Vegas shop: frame, printed graphics, LED lighting, demo counters set back to ASHP's rules and lockable storage, all under one fixed proposal including setup and teardown. After the meeting the booth rolls back to our warehouse across town.
Can we sell or take orders in our ASHP Midyear booth?
Selling is off the table: ASHP's 2026 rules prohibit solicitation of business, order taking and selling on the exhibit floor, and limit promotional demos and presentations to ten minutes. Raffles and games of chance need ASHP's written approval. We design the booth for education, lead capture and booked follow-up meetings instead.
How tall can our ASHP Midyear booth be?
Linear booths stop at 8 feet, solid pieces taller than 4 feet must sit 5 feet in from the aisle, and hanging signs are out. Islands may reach 25 feet, hanging signs must sit between 16 and 25 feet, and multi-level booths are banned (2026 rules). Islands of 400 square feet or more need drawings approved by ASHP.
Can we hold a customer event during ASHP Midyear?
ASHP allows business functions in official meeting hotels only at times that avoid ASHP programming and exhibits: weekends, early mornings and from 5:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday in 2026. The exhibitor fee was $1,900 for up to 50 people or $6,800 above that, with one 30×40-inch sign outside the room. Executive Suites near your booth were $11,000.
Can we reuse our ASHP Midyear booth at other shows?
Health-system pharmacy suppliers also exhibit at ASHP's Pharmacy Futures in June, the APhA Annual Meeting in March and Asembia AXS, which, like Midyear 2027, is in Las Vegas. We hold your Midyear booth in our Las Vegas shop and rework it for each, swapping graphics and resizing the counter run.
Do you handle Shepard orders and the contractor authorization for Midyear?
We do. ASHP requires a written statement naming your outside builder, its address and supervisor, no later than 30 days ahead of move-in, plus insurance naming ASHP, SPARGO, Shepard and the venue. We file both, then order the Shepard services our build needs, such as porter service for any food.
When is ASHP Midyear 2027?
ASHP lists the 2027 Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition for December 5–8, 2027 in Las Vegas. Its hall schedule for 2027 is not confirmed yet. The most recent meeting runs December 6–9, 2026 in Orlando, and ASHP has set December 3–6, 2028 in New Orleans.
Where is ASHP Midyear 2027 held?
In Las Vegas, Nevada, according to ASHP's upcoming meetings list; the building is not confirmed yet. ASHP's last Las Vegas Midyear, December 7–10, 2025, was held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and the 2026 meeting is at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
How many people attend ASHP Midyear?
ASHP counted 20,005 total registrants at the 2025 Midyear in Las Vegas: 12,389 pharmacy professionals, 4,218 students, 3,089 exhibit personnel and 309 other professionals. Ninety-eight percent were domestic. ASHP describes Midyear as drawing over 20,000 pharmacy professionals each year.
Is ASHP Midyear open to the public?
Midyear is closed to the public: it is a registered professional meeting for pharmacists, students, residents, technicians and health care professionals, and exhibit badges cover only exhibit staff. Each 10×10 includes four complimentary exhibitor badges, with up to the same number again purchasable at $140 each in 2026.
How do we get a booth at ASHP Midyear?
Companies that exhibited before reserve through SPARGO's returning-exhibitor application or at the onsite selection. A first-time company submits a brief summary of what it sells; ASHP checks that it fits hospital and health-system pharmacy, then confirms the space and sends the invoice.
