The ORS Annual Meeting is the world’s largest scientific conference dedicated solely to musculoskeletal and orthopaedic research. Attendees include leading experts in basic, translational, and clinical research from academia, industry, government, and private practice. Their diverse research interests cover the entire musculoskeletal system, orthopaedic injuries, diseases, conditions, prevention, and treatments.

We invite you to join us at the ORS 2026 Annual Meeting, from March 27 – 31, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Exhibitors will be present from March 28 – 30, 2026. This event offers a unique opportunity to showcase your new and improved technologies, products, and services to enhance the groundbreaking research conducted by our attendees.

To build engagement in the exhibit hall, we provide networking sessions, educational programming, meet-ups, and refreshment breaks throughout the day. Additionally, we will host two evening poster and exhibit receptions. As an exhibitor, you will have the chance to connect directly with approximately 2,600 leading orthopaedic researchers from various career levels and disciplines.

Innovation Theater Sponsorship – $800 – $8,000

The orthopedic ecosystem is growing exponentially as novel products are invented and translated for clinical use. The Innovation Theater is a place to bring together stakeholders from all facets of translation, fostering networking, discovery of new potential partners, and education for what resources exist. Take this opportunity to have your company highlighted in either with a 10-minute Rapid-Fire Talk, 30-minute Talk, or one of the other opportunities shown below. Due to limited non-competing exhibit hall hours, space to present is available on a first come, first served basis.

Mobile Polling Option – $500/each

Take the opportunity to receive data from the attendees on one of your company’s key initiatives. Submit a maximum of 5-question survey and ORS will post in the Annual Meeting Mobile App and do a push notification to encourage the attendees to complete it during the meeting. A total of 8 polls are available, with two administered each day. A company can submit a maximum of two polls to ensure variations of data among industry partners.

Passbook to Prizes – $500/each Complementary

The complimentary Passbook to Prizes is back by popular demand. The passbook lists all participating exhibitors, their booth number, and provides a brief description of the exhibiting company. It also outlines the instructions to the attendees on how to play, learn more about the exhibitors, and win fabulous prizes.

The passbook was created to generate more booth traffic. Since exhibitor participation helps the conference meet its financial goals, the attendees are highly encouraged to visit every booth.
