SIR Annual Scientific Meeting 2027Exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines

At SIR the working tier is a 10×20 inline: $7,500 to $15,000 to rent, $15,000 to $45,000 custom, while a custom 20×20 island runs $50,000 to $120,000. Here the price moves with stamped engineering above 12 feet, see-through framing and the flooring the bare hall requires. SIR bills space on top: $6,300 per inline 10×10 or $65.50 per square foot for islands in 2027.

Booths of 20×20 or larger send renderings with dimensions, elevations and components to SIR by January 7, 2027, then two sets of final plans to the Los Angeles Convention Center by February 11: plan, elevations, isometric, egress paths, covered area and structure. Signing off the design by mid-December 2026 leaves room for engineering before both dates.

Our SIR rentals bundle the frame, printed fabric, LED fixtures, a device bench with lockable storage and the padded flooring SIR's uncarpeted hall requires, with shipping, install and teardown priced in one fixed proposal. Island rentals come framed to the 30% see-through rule. After March 23 the rental comes back to us, so you store nothing.

Local 831 holds exhibit installation work at the LACC, meaning a built booth goes up with Freeman labor or a registered exhibitor appointed contractor. SIR requires every EAC to file its own form and a certificate of liability insurance by February 4, 2027. We file both as your contractor and run the crew with our own project manager.

SIR's rules allow demonstrations that pose no radiation hazard, and any hazardous energy beam must be made inoperative before installation. Therapy and health screening on people are banned, ultrasound may be shown on phantoms or live models your company hires, and lasers or UV lighting need written approval. We build the console bench and shielded storage around those limits.

SIR asks exhibitors to identify devices awaiting FDA approval, including IDE, PMA and 510(k) devices, when they apply for space, and to send the FDA pending-approval letter before promoting them. Anything cleared only abroad needs a conspicuous label saying so. We print that labeling into the bench graphics so the display matches what SIR approved.

Plan roughly $175 for every hundred pounds, 200 pounds minimum, our 2026–27 figure for this building; Freeman bills it at its SIR kit rate. Freight can reach the advance warehouse from February 16, 2027, the advance freight discount runs to March 11 and on-site receiving opens March 18. We crate consolidated, list drayage as its own proposal line and track every shipment.

SIR lists the LACC's South Building as its 2027 venue, and the Expo sits beside the plenary sessions, with the Poster Hall in the Concourse foyer. South Hall, added in 1993 at roughly 347,000 square feet, is being joined to West Hall in the Olympic expansion, so we plan dock routing around the construction.

Benches and frames come apart and regroup, which lets one SIR build travel on to the SVS Vascular Annual Meeting in San Diego in June, TCT or RSNA in Chicago with new graphics for each crowd. Between meetings it stays in our storage, has its benches swapped for the next product line and travels to whichever warehouse that meeting names.

SIR 2027, the 52nd Annual Scientific Meeting, runs Saturday, March 20 to Wednesday, March 24, 2027. The Expo is open Sunday to Tuesday, March 21–23, from 9:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., with move-in March 18–20. The next meetings are set for Philadelphia on March 18–22, 2028 and Anaheim on April 7–11, 2029.

SIR 2027 meets in the South Building of the Los Angeles Convention Center, downtown at 1201 South Figueroa. The headquarters hotel is the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, and Maritz is the only official housing provider. The LACC puts Pico Station, on the Metro A and E Lines, about eight minutes away on foot.

SIR 2026 drew 4,466 total registrants: 2,524 professional attendees, including 1,001 practicing IR physicians, 361 IR residents and 408 IR-focused medical students, plus 1,855 exhibitor personnel. SIR reports that 78% of registrants visit the exhibit hall and that 86% came from the United States.

No. Attendees register with an SIR account, the Expo is limited to registrants and qualified exhibitors, and children under 16 are not allowed in the exhibit hall. SIR members and other interventional radiologists cannot be registered as exhibitor staff, and one-day Expo passes go on sale in February.

SIR sells space through its Exhibitor Marketplace, open to all companies since July 7, 2026. A 50% deposit is due within 30 days of booking and the balance by December 1, 2026; later bookings pay in full within 30 days. Products must relate to interventional radiology, and Priority Points decide the order in which returning exhibitors choose space.
