Ballroom tabletops that work: MAPS Americas 2027 booths in Miami Beach

What makes MAPS Americas different, and how we build for it
MAPS calls its Americas Annual Meeting the premier global conference dedicated only to medical affairs, and in 2027 it marks its 10th anniversary at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach with 1,800+ attendees expected.The Medical Affairs Professional Society, with 18,000+ members, sells exhibit space that sells out each year: tabletop booths in the Sparkle Ballroom, a theater inside the exhibit hall where 45-minute Sponsored Sessions seat up to 100 with wireless headsets, curated Roundtables, Sunday MasterClasses, an Exhibit Hall Welcome Reception and a Pool Reception. Exhibitors get the opted-in attendee list before the meeting, with 10×20 holders receiving it a week early.
Partners who understand scientific exchange, compliance and evidence planning, with examples from their therapeutic areas and a clear scope.
Insight-capture tools, training and content that make field conversations with physicians better, demonstrated on a tablet they can try.
Publication planning, medical writing and information services with proof of quality and turnaround, plus a contact for an RFP.
Your team in Miami Beach
Two shops, one project manager, every hall
We build in our own production shop in Fishkill, NY, and our Las Vegas hub, ship to the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, and install with our own project manager on the floor and vetted local labor. Predictable 30–45-day turnarounds, secure storage and pre-show QA.
Your team walks into a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.
Inside MAPS Americas 2027
MAPS Americas rules that shape your booth
Every 2027 MAPS exhibit, 6×8, 10×10 or 10×20, includes a tabletop, two chairs, an ID sign and a waste basket. We design a backdrop and table dressing around that furniture rather than a freestanding booth.
Items distributed through the Promotional Item Distribution opportunity must be approved by MAPS, which may limit quantities or reject items that do not fit its guidelines; the sponsor ships and delivers them. We plan approved items into the kit.
Exhibit-only registrations cover the exhibit hall and receptions but not sessions, and guest passes are valid only for receptions with advance registration and ID. We plan table staffing around who holds which badge.
MAPS gives 5% off for invoices paid in full within 30 days; late payment removes the discount with no extensions. We share our timeline early so your budget approvals do not hold up the booth.
Programs worth planning for
A company-branded session in the theater inside the exhibit hall, with wireless headsets for attendees, $16,500 in 2027.
Sponsorship of a Sunday MasterClass at $6,500, with an exclusive tabletop outside the MasterClass meeting room.
Eight slots at $2,500 to place MAPS-approved branded items or collateral near conference registration.
MAPS Americas is the medical affairs community's own meeting, with 1,800+ attendees expected in 2027; choose it over DIA Global when you sell to medical affairs, MSL and publications teams rather than regulatory and clinical operations. Compare all the pharma and biotech shows we build for →

Case study · SpecialtyRx
SpecialtyRx at a healthcare trade show
A custom island with elevated circular branding and LED tiles that stayed busy from open to close, built for visibility across the whole floor.
SpecialtyRx's healthcare island stood out through bold branding; at MAPS the footprint is a tabletop in a ballroom, so the same clarity has to come from a well-lit backdrop.

Four things we get right for MAPS Americas exhibitors
1Dress the included tabletop
Every MAPS exhibit, from the 6×8 to the 10×20, comes with a tabletop, two chairs, an ID sign and a waste basket. We add a printed backdrop, a fitted table throw and a counter front so the ballroom furniture looks like your booth rather than a banquet table.
2Light for a ballroom, not a hall
The MAPS Exhibit Hall is the Fontainebleau's Sparkle Ballroom, which also hosts the Exhibit Hall Welcome Reception. We add LED lighting on the backdrop so your name and services stay readable in ballroom lighting from session breaks through the evening reception.
3Use the early attendee list
10×20 exhibitors get the opted-in attendee list on February 12, 2027, a week before others, with weekly updates after. We time your booth graphics and pre-meeting invitation so both carry the same message and the same meeting offer.
4Back the Sponsored Session
MAPS Sponsored Sessions run in a theater inside the exhibit hall, with wireless headsets for attendees. If you present one, we print the session title on your backdrop so listeners walk from the theater straight to your table.

Where you could be at MAPS Americas 2027
MAPS 2027 uses three parts of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, each with its own role for exhibitors.
Sparkle Ballroom: MAPS Exhibit Hall
The 2027 floor plan places numbered exhibits, the MAPS theater, sponsored lounges, food and beverage stations and the registration area here.
Our advice Exhibits near the food stations and theater see the most stops, so we keep your front open and add lighting for the ballroom.
Glimmer Ballroom: general sessions
MAPS holds its general sessions in the Glimmer Ballroom, separate from the exhibit hall.
Our advice Traffic arrives in waves when general sessions end, so we plan a short demo and a quick message for those moments.
Upper Lobby Level and Fourth Floor
Concurrent sessions run in meeting rooms on these two levels.
Our advice Attendees move between floors, so we print a simple directional line on your materials pointing back to the Sparkle Ballroom.

Is it too late to exhibit at MAPS 2027?
Exhibit spaces for 2027 are sold out, and MAPS adds companies to a waitlist through its exhibits contact. Sponsored Sessions, Roundtables and both receptions are sold out too; the prospectus still lists the Conference Mobile App and Notepad & Pens sponsorships at $12,500 and Promotional Item Distribution at $2,500.
What comes with a MAPS exhibit?
Each exhibit includes a tabletop, two chairs, an ID sign and a waste basket, plus your logo on the MAPS website, app and onsite signage. For 2027 every package adds one conference registration: a 10×20 includes two full and two exhibit-only, and a 10×10 one full and two exhibit-only.
Can we rent a booth kit for MAPS?
We rent MAPS kits built around the included table: a fabric backdrop, a branded table throw or counter front, LED lights and a tablet stand, packed in rolling cases. One proposal covers the shipping and the hours our project manager spends installing and removing it.
When do MAPS exhibitors get the attendee list?
Companies with a 10×20 receive the opted-in attendee list on February 12, 2027, and all other exhibitors on February 19, with weekly updates of new registrants until the meeting. Registered attendees also appear in the conference app three to four weeks before.
Can we hand out giveaways at MAPS?
Beyond your exhibit, MAPS sells Promotional Item Distribution near registration at $2,500, with eight available, and every item must be approved by MAPS before distribution. MAPS may limit quantities or reject items that do not fit conference guidelines.
Can we reuse our MAPS kit at other shows?
We build MAPS backdrops on frames that also fit 10×10 and 10×20 booths at DIA Global, ISPOR or CPHI Americas with new prints. Between meetings we hold the kit in our warehouse and refresh graphics for each audience.

What are the MAPS 2027 exhibit hall hours?
MAPS 2027 exhibit hall hours are not confirmed yet. The hall is the Sparkle Ballroom at the Fontainebleau, the Exhibit Hall Welcome Reception is held inside it, and the Sponsored Session theater sits on the same floor, so breaks and the reception bring the heaviest traffic.

MAPS Americas is worth it when your buyers sit in medical affairs: the 2027 meeting expects 1,800+ attendees from 250+ biopharma, biotech, MedTech and solution provider organizations, and exhibits sell out every year. Tabletops keep the spend modest, and the attendee list arrives weeks before the meeting.

Can exhibit staff attend sessions at MAPS?
Only with a full conference registration. Exhibit-only registrations cover the exhibit hall and networking receptions, not sessions, and can be upgraded through the Exhibitor Service Center. Guest passes are for receptions only and need advance registration and ID.
