NASBS 36th Annual Meeting 2027

How it compares

AANS Annual Scientific Meeting is the broader comparison for neurosurgical suppliers. Its 2026 meeting recorded 3,669 registrants, and its subspecialty mix extends from spine and peripheral nerve to vascular, pediatric, functional, and tumor surgery. A company serving several of those markets can cover more of its portfolio there. NASBS brings the ENT side of skull-base care into the same room, making it particularly relevant when a product crosses neurosurgical and endoscopic practice.

CNS Annual Meeting also draws a broad neurosurgery audience, with scientific education and an extensive industry program. It suits companies building relationships across the specialty and clinicians who want a wider view of neurosurgical practice. NASBS puts the emphasis on the shared decisions around skull-base tumors, surgical corridors, reconstruction, and functional outcomes. The choice turns on how narrowly the visitor or exhibitor needs to focus: a broad neurosurgery agenda favors AANS or CNS; multidisciplinary skull-base work favors NASBS.

NASBS is the right trip for teams whose clinical work or technology sits where neurosurgery, ENT, and skull-base reconstruction meet.

Who exhibits

The 2026 floor paired major surgical technology suppliers with focused specialists. KARL STORZ brought endoscopic systems, Axogen addressed nerve deficits, and Surgical Theater showed immersive planning and visualization. Medtronic and ZEISS sat alongside companies making dural grafts, patient-specific implants, and instruments for endonasal access. That mix gives the commercial program a clear clinical purpose: helping surgical teams reach difficult anatomy, preserve function, and reconstruct what treatment removes.

NASBS 36th Annual Meeting 2027

The 2027 Nashville meeting centers on patient outcomes, with dedicated programs for vestibular schwannoma and NF2, and for sinonasal malignancies. NASBS introduces its first Shark Tank, bringing clinical, research, and engineering ideas before an expert judging panel. The pre-meeting course at AXIS Laboratories combines open and endoscopic dissection with carotid-injury and pediatric sinonasal simulation. The main social event moves the conversation into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

• Choose the VS/NF2 program if your work centers on vestibular schwannoma; the sinonasal malignancy program addresses a different multidisciplinary treatment pathway.
• Dissection-course participants use AXIS Laboratories, with transport from the headquarters hotel. Use the advance virtual lectures to prepare for the table-side modules.
• The welcome reception and scientific posters share Broadway Ballroom E-K with the exhibits, making this a useful place to combine technology discussions with clinical research.

Exhibiting

NASBS accepts products directly related to patient care, safety, or surgical practice. Standard booth space includes basic furniture and exhibit badges; electricity, freight handling, and audiovisual services are separate. Space allocation follows the application and deposit. Private industry suites and Innovation Theater presentations offer additional ways to reach the same specialist audience.
