How full will Vegas be during AAOS 2027 Annual Meeting?
Busy: expect firmer rates near the venue; book private dining and group blocks early.
AAOS 2027 Annual Meeting falls mostly in the week of Mar 1, 2027, which we rate Busy on trade-show attendance: about 57,370 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting AAOS 2027 Annual Meeting and 2 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
Overlapping shows
- WVC Vegas 2027 Feb 28 - Mar 3, 2027 · Mandalay Bay Convention Center · ~18,600
- ASD Market Week - March 2027 Mar 2-4, 2027 · LVCC · ~30,000
Each Monday-Sunday week gets one score: the pro-rated attendance of every tracked trade show in town that week. The score sets the week’s trade label. A trade show carries the trade label of the week that holds most of its days (ties go to the busier week), on every tile and page. A week’s headline label can be lifted by the leisure floor (“Busy (leisure)” or “Peak (leisure)”); trade-show tiles never inherit it. Method.
