2026-09-09 – 2026-09-12The 2026 AOPA National Assembly moves to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, running September 9-12, with AOPA promoting continuity of scale by reusing the more than 2,000 attendees and more than 160 exhibitors description used for 2025.

Impact
The 2025 AOPA National Assembly in Orlando drew more than 2,000 attendees and over 160 exhibitors, with AOPA leadership publicly describing it as one of the association's best years and a return to pre-pandemic attendance levels. As the premier annual event for the orthotic and prosthetic profession, it combined clinical education, an exhibit hall of new O&P technology, and extensive networking programming.
Audience quality
AOPA positions the National Assembly as the O&P profession's premier annual gathering, drawing clinicians, technicians, business leaders, researchers, educators, and manufacturers from across the orthotic and prosthetic industry. The 2,000-plus attendee base and 160-plus exhibitor participation in 2025 reflect a concentrated, specialist trade audience rather than a general consumer crowd.
Exhibitor outcomes
Official AOPA materials do not publish specific exhibitor ROI figures such as leads generated or sales closed at the 2025 Assembly. Exhibitor value is implied through consistent year-over-year participation of more than 160 companies and AOPA's own description of the event as offering access to more than 2,000 O&P professionals actively sourcing new products.

Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
AOPA is a concentrated, specialty buying environment where clinicians, clinic owners, educators, and manufacturers all gather in one place, so it is more efficient than a broad healthcare expo for O&P-specific demand generation. The event’s scale, education content, and exhibitor mix make it useful both for product discovery and for testing how well a device, component, or software story lands with real practitioners. Because the broader market is being shaped by reimbursement pressure, digital workflows, and advanced device adoption, AOPA is a strong proxy for where the category is moving.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Digital manufacturing is becoming a core buying criterion
O&P buyers are increasingly evaluating 3D printing, scanning, and workflow software alongside traditional device quality, which raises the importance of integrated hardware-plus-software demos.
SourceMicroprocessor and powered devices keep premium demand alive
Advanced prosthetic knees, myoelectric systems, and other powered technologies continue to support higher-value sales even as clinics scrutinize reimbursement and total cost of ownership.
SourceOrthotics remains the broader revenue base
Orthotic products still account for the larger share of the market, with braces and spinal supports benefiting from chronic care needs, aging populations, and non-surgical treatment pathways.
SourceReimbursement and prior authorization remain a friction point
Even where device adoption is strong, uneven coverage and approval delays continue to shape buying decisions, lengthen sales cycles, and favor vendors that can prove outcomes and administrative ease.
SourceWorkforce and clinician capacity matter more
The market is still constrained by a shortage of qualified clinicians, so education-heavy events like AOPA stay relevant as both a training platform and a recruiting channel.
SourceLatest updates from across the market.

Plan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Harry Reid International Airport
Primary and most convenient airport for Mandalay Bay; officially cited by AOPA hotel and travel page as about 3 miles from the venue with taxis, rideshares, and shuttle services available
3 miles
to venue
10-15 minutes
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
USD 99–150 / night
Cost-effective properties near the airport or off the main Strip. Attendees relying on these should budget for daily rideshare or taxi costs to Mandalay Bay, as regional transit connections can be slow.
USD 99–190 / night
The official AOPA block at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino offers highly competitive rates (USD 99-190/night plus $25 daily resort fee) for an on-site luxury property, making it the most practical mid-range choice if booked early.
USD 250–500 / night
Luxury properties along the central and south Strip (e.g., Delano, Four Seasons) offer premium amenities. When the official Mandalay Bay block sells out, standard prevailing rates at these properties will apply.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Taxi
A simple and direct option for up to five people. Taxis are readily available at airport terminal taxi stands.
Ride-hail (Uber / Lyft)
Widely available and convenient alternative to taxis. Use designated rideshare pickup zones at the airport and Mandalay Bay.
Rental Car / Driving
Mandalay Bay offers self-parking and valet options. The venue is easily accessed via the dedicated Convention Center drive on Russell Road / Frank Sinatra Drive.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
| Type | Who needs it | Fee | Processing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B-1 Business Visitor Visa | Most non-U.S. business visitors attending meetings, conferences, or trade shows in the United States; also used for short professional activities that fit temporary business visitor rules. | $185.00 | Varies by consulate; appointment availability and administrative processing can add significant wait time. | |
| Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) | Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries traveling for business or tourism for stays of up to 90 days, if otherwise eligible and approved via ESTA. | Not yet confirmed | ESTA approval is often quick, but travelers should apply in advance because approval is not guaranteed instantly. |
Visa-free entry is nationality-dependent and limited to travelers eligible under the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security states the program permits citizens of designated countries to travel to the United States for business or tourism for stays of up to 90 days without a visa; eligibility must be checked against the official VWP list before travel.
ATA Carnet is accepted for temporary import of professional equipment and trade-show goods into the United States. U.S. Trade.gov notes it is used to avoid duties and taxes on temporary exhibition goods and can eliminate the need for CBP Form 4455 for covered items; it is not recommended for consumables or goods intended for sale.
Official visa pageWeather
Las Vegas in early-to-mid September is typically hot and dry, with daytime highs commonly in the mid-90s Fahrenheit (around 35-37C) and overnight lows in the 70s F (around 21-24C). Rainfall is minimal, and humidity is generally low, though the desert heat can feel intense during outdoor transit between hotels and the Strip.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping is expected
Las Vegas hospitality culture expects tipping for taxis, rideshares, valet, bellhops, and food service staff, typically 15-20 percent for meals and a few dollars for luggage or valet assistance
Casino resort etiquette
Mandalay Bay is a working casino resort; attendees should be aware that meeting and exhibit areas are integrated with gaming floors, and photography inside casino areas is generally discouraged or restricted
Dress code varies by session
Business or business-casual attire is standard for education sessions and the exhibit hall, while evening networking events may allow smart-casual dress; comfortable shoes are recommended given the large resort footprint
Resort fees are standard
Nevada hotels commonly charge a mandatory daily resort fee separate from the room rate; AOPA's negotiated Mandalay Bay rate includes a discounted 25 dollar per day resort fee covering Wi-Fi and other amenities
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
AOPA does not name an official travel/flight booking partner; attendees are directed to book their own air travel into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), about 3 miles from Mandalay Bay
Most business visitors need a U.S. B-1 visa unless they qualify for the Visa Waiver Program. The official route for eligible VWP nationals is ESTA; other travelers generally apply for B-1 before attending the Assembly.
Estimated cost: Not yet confirmed
Processing: Consular processing times vary by country and appointment availability; ESTA, where eligible, is usually much faster but should still be applied for in advance.
Do not treat visa-free entry as universal. Nationality, purpose of travel, and prior immigration history matter. Attendees should confirm current eligibility on official U.S. government pages before booking.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: 2026-09-11
Friday is usually the strongest balance of education, exhibit floor traffic, and networking for a specialty professional conference, and the published AOPA program places a full day of sessions and activity in the middle of the event.
Confirm whether the event is worth a visit or exhibit slot — Use the quiz decision before committing budget, staff, or travel time.
Map target buyers, competitors, and session topics — Prioritize orthotists, prosthetists, clinic owners, and manufacturers aligned to your category.
Build a meeting list and outreach sequence — Target exhibitors for demos, pricing, and implementation questions; request appointments early.
Lock travel and hotel budget — Las Vegas convention dates can move hotel rates quickly; keep flexibility for arrivals and departures.
Prepare demo assets and appointment collateral — Bring concise product sheets, use-case stories, and a clear next-step offer.
Define lead qualification criteria — Decide which job titles, clinic types, and purchase timelines justify immediate follow-up.
Confirm badge registration and attendee list access — Download confirmations and keep an offline copy of key meeting contacts.
Shortlist sessions and expo targets by day — Leave room for walking the exhibit floor and impromptu meetings.
Pack for travel, walking, and indoor/outdoor temperature swings — Las Vegas heat can be strong even in September; comfortable shoes matter.
Set follow-up workflow and calendar blocks — Schedule same-day notes capture and 24-hour follow-up once meetings start.
