American Society of Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine (ASRA) — 25th Annual Pain Medicine Meeting (ASRAFALL26)

Event overview (official details)

• Event name: Pain Medicine Meeting (25th Annual Pain Medicine Meeting)
• Dates: November 5–7, 2026
• Venue/Hotel: JW Marriott Tampa Water Street
• City & Country: Tampa, Florida, USA
• Meeting theme: “Making Waves: Turning the Tide in Pain Medicine”

1️⃣ Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

This meeting is positioned as a specialty-focused clinical and educational conference for pain medicine and regional anesthesia professionals. It is not purely an industry-only event; it is designed around high-quality educational programming, workshops, case-based learning, and practice management guidance—meaning the most valuable “buyer” audiences are typically the decision-makers and influencers who shape clinical adoption, technology utilization, formulary/provider preferences, and program-level pain management strategies.

Primary attendee groups (buyer-relevant):

• Pain medicine physicians and clinicians: anesthesiologists, interventional pain specialists, and physicians with procedural pain practices who attend for updated evidence and training.
• Subspecialty procedural experts: attendees interested in advanced interventional techniques (e.g., ultrasound-guided procedures, neuromodulation, and ablation therapies).
• Clinical educators and program leaders: faculty and participants in the Educational Excellence programming (mentoring, educator skills, leadership development).
• Practice management decision-makers: attendees engaged with billing/reimbursement, building clinical teams, and professional development through the Practice Management Portfolio.
• Allied pain teams (influence buyers): while physicians are the core audience, allied roles often follow specialty education pathways when new tools/approaches are presented.
• Networking participants: professionals attending networking receptions, Special Interest Group meetings, and the Saturday Night Celebration—these are high-concentration touchpoints for relationship-building and vendor discussions.

Buyer fit interpretation: For attendee-list targeting, “buyers” are most often the clinicians and practice leaders who have direct involvement in purchasing/selection decisions indirectly (through therapy adoption), and the organizational decision-makers who influence vendor partnerships (through clinical programs and procurement channels). The meeting’s program areas strongly indicate high relevance for med device, diagnostics/ultrasound enablement, neuromodulation-related ecosystems, imaging guidance, and pain-therapeutics companies.

2️⃣ Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

Show location: JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, Tampa, Florida, USA.

Attendee geographic origin: The official page does not explicitly list attendee origin by region/country. However, because the meeting is hosted by ASRA and is a pain medicine specialty conference in the U.S., we reliably expect:

• Strong U.S. participation: clinicians and practice leaders from across the United States.
• Regional concentration effect (Florida/Southeast): conferences in major coastal metro areas typically see a noticeable share of attendees from nearby states due to travel convenience.
• International professional interest: some specialty attendees may attend from outside the U.S. for specific educational tracks, but the official content does not quantify this.

Recommended geographic targeting for buyer-list research: start with nationwide U.S. and then prioritize states with higher interventional pain/treatment center density and academic medical presence; keep an international layer only if your client’s offering supports cross-border sales support or international partnerships.

3️⃣ Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

The official website content provided does not explicitly label reach as Local/National/Global. Based on the nature of an ASRA specialty meeting and the content themes (emerging technologies, evolving treatment paradigms, practice management, and master educator tracks), this event is best categorized as:

• National specialty reach (primary): U.S. pain medicine and regional anesthesia professionals.
• Global specialty relevance (secondary): international attendees may attend, but this is not stated on the official page.

Actionable note for research: when building a buyer list, we recommend structuring targeting logic around “U.S. interventional pain / regional anesthesia clinical networks” first, then optionally expanding to international equivalents if your client’s compliance, distribution, and education programs support it.

4️⃣ Sample buyer company names (BUYERS ONLY) + websites

Below are buyer-style company examples that commonly align with the meeting’s topics shown on the official page (ultrasound-guided procedures, spinal cord stimulation, ablation therapies, sacroiliac joint interventions, minimally invasive spine procedures, opioid management education, practice management, and innovation in pain medicine).

Important: we have not been provided an exhibitor/sponsor list in the official text excerpt. The company list below is therefore a buyer-fit hypothesis to accelerate outreach and matching; the highest accuracy approach is to confirm via the event’s Exhibition/Industry Support page for the exact exhibiting companies and sponsors.

Best “start-first” buyer shortlist (for outreach testing): Medtronic, Nevro, Boston Scientific, Philips, GE HealthCare. These five align most directly with the official program themes: neuromodulation/spinal cord stimulation and ultrasound-guided procedures.

8️⃣ Client-product fit note (must-do research step)

We can identify the best buyer targets for this specific meeting only after we review the client’s product category and positioning. The official event description confirms the clinical themes, but buyer fit changes significantly depending on whether your product is:

• Procedural devices / neuromodulation ecosystem tools (spinal cord stimulation and related therapies),
• Ultrasound/POCUS or procedural guidance technology (ultrasound-guided procedures),
• Interventional ablation systems / spine procedure toolkits (basivertebral nerve ablation, SI joint fusion, minimally invasive lumbar discectomy),
• Pain therapeutics (novel analgesics, older drugs, cannabinoids context),
• Practice management / billing support (reimbursement and team-building workflows),
• Education or clinical training enablement (master educator / mentoring adjacent offerings).

Please share your client website (or product landing page URL). Once we review it, we will produce:

• an updated “best buyers to target” list (higher-confidence than the hypothesis list above),
• the matching job titles most likely to respond for that product category, and
• the most relevant industry mapping for your targeting workflow.
