OMTEC 2027Exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines

Start with the 10×20 tier, where OMTEC suppliers usually land: a rental build runs $7,500 to $15,000 and a custom one $15,000 to $45,000. A 20×20 island runs $16,000 to $40,000 rented or $50,000 to $120,000 custom. Lit sample cases, a running machine and Hall G freight move the price; OMTEC's own package, $11,000 for a 10×20, is billed separately.

OMTEC wants booth, sponsorship and advertising fees paid in full by January 15, 2027, and anything bought later is due on receipt. Cancel before February 1, 2027 and you get half back; after that, nothing. Island exhibitors face a second date: the 20×20 rendering is due March 31, so we need your sign-off by mid-March.

Yes. OMTEC's package gives you carpet, an ID sign and pipe and drape, but no tables or chairs. Our rental fills that gap: framed graphic walls to 8 feet, lit counters and lockable cabinets for implant samples, a meeting table, freight, install and dismantle, all on one fixed proposal. Afterward the kit returns to our stock.

How much your own staff may assemble at OMTEC is set in the RES services manual that opens January 15, 2027. A built, crated or powered booth goes up with Rosemont Exposition Services labor on the floor. We read that manual when it posts, file the labor order in your account and run the install with our project manager, so your team walks into a finished booth.

An inline 10×20 tops out at an 8-foot back wall, its side walls stay at 4 feet for the first 5 feet back from the aisle, and no inline booth may hang a sign. Islands have no set height cap in most cases, but each aisle side keeps 20 percent, or 4 feet, open, and hanging signs stay inside the footprint. Hall G's 16-foot ceiling still sets the top.

You do, billed by Rosemont Exposition Services by weight. Plan on $145 per hundredweight, the crated rate in a 2026 RES freight guide for this building, which bundles advance-warehouse storage, booth delivery and reloading. Part samples are light but booth walls and cabinets are not, so we consolidate crates and list drayage as its own line before you sign.

Hall G, on the upper level of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, per OMTEC's travel page. The venue lists it at 220,000 square feet under a 16-foot ceiling, and it is the only hall without unlimited floor loads. Education runs in the Level 2 Conference Center rooms next door, while the Tech Center and Think Tank sit on the exhibit floor.

We plan for that from the first drawing. The same parts counters and certification walls can go to MD&M West in February, AAOS in March and MEDevice Boston in May, with graphics reprinted for each audience. Between shows we store the kit, refresh sample inserts for new parts and ship it to the next advance warehouse.

We do. Once the RES portal opens January 15, 2027, we order electrical, furniture, cleaning and material handling in your company's account, send freight on the advance warehouse window, and book lead retrieval with American Tradeshow Services, OMTEC's lead retrieval contractor. You get a copy of each order and its deadline.

OMTEC 2027 runs Tuesday, June 8 to Thursday, June 10, 2027. The 2027 sponsorship schedule puts a Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall Cafe on the evening of June 8. The 2027 exhibit hall hours are not confirmed yet; in 2026 the floor closed at 1 p.m. on the final day.

OMTEC says about 1,400 professionals attend each year, including 300 to 350 people from roughly 80 orthopedic OEMs, from companies such as Stryker, Zimmer Biomet and Arthrex down to pre-revenue startups. The 2025 conference program counted more than 1,400 attendees from over a dozen countries, and the 2026 show had more than 215 exhibitors.

No. OMTEC is a paid conference for the orthopedic industry, with separate rates for OEM and device-company staff, industry suppliers, and surgeons and academics. Every badge is all-access, with no one-day or floor-only passes. Exhibitors get five badges per 100 square feet, extra badges cost $400 in 2026, and industry badge holders may not solicit exhibitors.

OMTEC is run by ORTHOWORLD Inc., publisher of BONEZONE. You file the online exhibitor application, which takes no payment, and show management screens it before any space is held. Approved companies then pick inline spaces on the 2027 floor plan, where first-come booth selection opens October 26, 2026; the OMTEC team assigns 20×20 islands itself.
