Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2027Exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines

For one implant, biologic or instrument line, plan on a 10×20 rental at $7,500 to $15,000; a custom 20×20 island for a platform launch runs $50,000 to $120,000. At PSTM the number moves with sample counters, a screened demo bay and the flooring ASPS requires in every booth. Space is billed by ASPS on top: $4,625 per 100 square feet inline at 2026 standard rates.

ASPS opens space about eight months out. In the 2026 cycle, applications with a 50% deposit opened February 18, booths were assigned online May 4 to 8 by priority once invoices were paid, and early-bird rates ended June 12. We need your design signed off by late June 2027 to build in Fishkill in time for September.

Rentals suit PSTM well because the meeting moves city every year. Ours covers the frame, fabric graphics, sample counters with fitted trays, lighting, the flooring ASPS requires, freight, install and dismantle on one fixed proposal. After Baltimore it returns to us, and the 2028 Los Angeles booth can reuse the same counters with new graphics.

Only a small one. In Purple's experience at the Baltimore Convention Center on Pratt Street, Maryland's union rules give two of your full-time staff about an hour each way, and carpenters do the rest. In 2026 ASPS wanted the exhibitor-appointed contractor form with the official contractor and the certificate of insurance with ASPS by August 28; we file both.

Only with approval. Under the 2026 rules, any live subject, injectable, laser or energy treatment, or powered device on a person needs ASPS Development Committee approval and a non-refundable $2,500 fee, a provider licensed in the host state, oversight by a board-certified ASPS member, on-label use and no sedation. Mannequin and synthetic-tissue demos need no approval.

The official contractor bills material handling to you by weight, and all PSTM shipments in 2026 had to be prepaid and consigned to it. Our Baltimore planning number is roughly $140 a hundredweight, 200 pounds minimum, for 2026–27. Sample stock and demo devices add weight, so we crate them with the booth and show drayage as its own line.

In 2026 booths were assigned by priority after an application was on file and the invoice paid in full, and picking a rate did not fix a location. Premier sponsors chose first: Sapphire in round one, then Platinum, Gold and Silver. We draw a flexible concept early, then fit it to the space you are given.

PSTM moves every year, so we build the counters and walls as modules that also fit the AAD Annual Meeting, ASLMS and The Aesthetic Show. We swap the graphics per audience, refit the sample trays to each product mix, and keep the kit in our storage until it ships to the next show's warehouse.

PSTM 2027 runs Thursday, September 16 to Sunday, September 19, 2027, in Baltimore, Maryland, per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons meetings calendar. In 2026 the exhibit hall opened on the meeting's second day and closed at 1:30 p.m. on the last; the 2027 hall dates are not confirmed yet.

In Baltimore, Maryland. ASPS lists the city for September 16–19, 2027, and moves the meeting each year: Houston in 2026, Los Angeles on October 12–15, 2028, and Orlando in 2029. BWI Marshall is the city's airport, and ASPS opens a discounted hotel block through its housing provider.

ASPS's 2026 exhibitor fact sheet counts 3,363 total attendees, including 1,571 physicians, 720 residents and fellows and 576 medical students, with 16% from 80 countries, and 4,806 people in all once 1,443 exhibit staff are added. ASPS's 2021 fact sheet, built on the 2019 San Diego meeting, reported 3,565 attendees.

No. The exhibit hall is included with meeting registration and needs a badge. Under ASPS's 2026 rules, children under 16 stayed out of the hall apart from infants carried or in strollers during show hours. Exhibitors get three badges per 100 square feet, and in 2026 extra exhibitor badges cost $600 each.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, founded in 1931, which says it represents 92% of U.S. board-certified plastic surgeons. It runs the meeting with The Plastic Surgery Foundation, the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons and The Rhinoplasty Society. ASPS sells the booth space and sponsorships from its Arlington Heights, Illinois office.
