RSNA 2026

RSNA 2026 Exhibition Stall Design & Booth Fabrication in Chicago

RSNA 2026 is the 112th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, taking place at McCormick Place in Chicago from 29 November to 3 December 2026. For exhibitors, strategic exhibition stall design creates an effective environment for demonstrating medical imaging equipment, radiology AI, software, diagnostic technology and healthcare solutions to a highly specialised professional audience.

The RSNA Technical Exhibits run from 29 November to 2 December 2026 and bring together more than 700 manufacturers, suppliers, developers and technology companies across over 421,000 square feet of exhibition space. For medical-imaging brands, the challenge is not simply creating an attractive booth. The stand must help visitors understand complex equipment, software workflows, clinical applications and technical value quickly.

Krrish Creation provides worldwide exhibition stall design, exhibition stand fabrication, custom booth planning, display fabrication, installation and dismantling support. Exhibitors preparing for RSNA 2026 should plan the stand around confirmed booth dimensions, equipment, demonstrations, screens, electrical requirements, visitor flow, meeting requirements and RSNA's current Technical Exhibit rules.

RSNA 2026 Event Overview and Key Facts

RSNA 2026 carries the theme At the Center of Care and brings the international radiology community to Chicago for scientific education, medical-imaging innovation, professional networking and technology demonstrations.

RSNA describes the Annual Meeting as one of the world's leading forums for radiology. Its Technical Exhibits include medical-imaging equipment, applications, artificial intelligence, workflow technology, diagnostic platforms and other solutions used across radiology and healthcare.

Why Exhibit at RSNA 2026 in Chicago?

RSNA creates an unusually focused environment for companies selling to radiologists, imaging leaders, healthcare institutions, diagnostic centres and radiology technology teams. Visitors are not simply browsing a general healthcare exhibition; many arrive specifically to compare imaging systems, AI applications, workflow platforms, enterprise technology and clinical solutions.

Reach a highly specialised radiology audience

The Technical Exhibits connect manufacturers, developers, suppliers and service companies with professionals who understand medical imaging. This makes booth communication different from a broad consumer exhibition. Visitors may already understand CT, MRI, PACS, AI workflows, imaging informatics or diagnostic equipment, so your stand should communicate differentiation quickly.

Demonstrate medical imaging technology in person

Medical imaging and radiology technology often require a demonstration to communicate value effectively. Software platforms may need several screens, while hardware companies may need space for scanners, components, diagnostic devices or workflow demonstrations.

A strong booth design should make these demonstrations visible while preventing visitor groups from blocking entrances or surrounding exhibitors.

Generate deeper technical conversations

A radiologist evaluating software may need to understand clinical workflow, integration and performance. A hospital or imaging-centre decision-maker may focus on implementation, productivity, interoperability or procurement. The stand should therefore support both quick discovery and detailed consultation.

Build visibility in a competitive medical-imaging environment

More than 700 companies are currently registered for the Technical Exhibits. This creates a competitive floor where branding, product clarity and visitor experience matter. A visually distinctive stand can attract attention, but relevance and usability determine whether visitors remain and engage.

Who Should Exhibit at RSNA 2026?

RSNA's Technical Exhibits cover medical imaging equipment, healthcare software, artificial intelligence, workflow technology, diagnostic tools and related products. Companies operating across radiology and healthcare technology can use the exhibition to demonstrate products and connect with specialist buyers.

Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers

Companies working with MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, angiography, mammography, nuclear medicine and other diagnostic imaging technologies can use the booth as both a product display and a technical consultation environment.

Large equipment requires early planning because dimensions, weight, electrical requirements, delivery routes, floor loading, installation sequence and visitor clearance may all affect the final stand.

Radiology AI and Machine Learning Companies

Artificial intelligence is a significant part of RSNA. The official 2026 AI Showcase occupies approximately 52,000 square feet, with more than 100 companies planning AI and machine-learning demonstrations.

AI companies usually need effective screen visibility, live demonstrations and spaces for explaining clinical use cases. Rather than covering a booth with generic AI messaging, use screens and graphics to show specific workflow problems, measurable improvements and clinical applications.

PACS, RIS and Enterprise Imaging Providers

Companies developing picture archiving, radiology information systems, enterprise imaging and workflow technology should design around software demonstrations and conversations.

Multiple demo stations can be useful, but each needs enough space for visitors and staff. If demo stations are positioned too closely, conversations overlap and screens become difficult to view.

Advanced Visualization Companies

Advanced visualization, 3D imaging and post-processing applications can benefit from high-quality displays, controlled lighting and focused demonstration stations.

Radiology IT and Healthcare Software Companies

Cloud platforms, reporting tools, interoperability solutions, workflow systems and healthcare IT companies can use booth storytelling to translate technical functionality into operational benefits.

Diagnostic Device and Imaging Component Manufacturers

Companies displaying sensors, accessories, imaging components, hardware or specialised diagnostic equipment should consider how visitors physically interact with products. Display height, accessibility, cable routing and security should be determined before fabrication.

Startups and First-Time Exhibitors

More than 120 companies are participating as first-time RSNA exhibitors in 2026. A smaller company does not necessarily need the largest booth. Clear positioning, a strong demonstration and an efficient visitor journey can make a compact exhibition stand highly effective.

Exhibition Stall Design Ideas for RSNA 2026

Effective exhibition stall design for RSNA should support medical-imaging technology, demonstrations and professional conversations while keeping the experience clear and easy to navigate.

Build the stand around one primary message

Visitors walking through a large exhibition hall cannot read a long list of features from every booth. Identify the most important proposition and make it visible from the aisle.

The message might focus on faster imaging workflows, diagnostic accuracy, enterprise interoperability, AI-assisted interpretation, image quality, productivity or another specific outcome.

Use 3d stall design before booth fabrication

A 3d stall design allows the project team to review screens, medical devices, signage, meeting areas, demonstration zones, reception and storage before construction begins.

This is particularly valuable for RSNA because imaging equipment and software demonstrations can require more space than expected. A 3D layout can reveal whether visitors standing around a demo will block nearby traffic.

Krrish Creation's custom exhibition stall designer service can be used when a booth needs to be planned around unique equipment and demonstration requirements.

Create dedicated live-demo stations

Software should be demonstrated at a comfortable viewing height with enough room for a visitor and product specialist to work together. If the booth contains several platforms, avoid placing every demo station in a single congested row.

Plan medical equipment displays around access

Large imaging technology needs more than empty floor space. Consider delivery, installation, electrical services, visitor access, safety clearances, technical access and how staff will explain the equipment.

Control screen glare and visual noise

Medical images and diagnostic interfaces need good display conditions. Lighting should support branding without making monitors difficult to read.

Use private or semi-private meeting areas strategically

Important conversations may involve procurement, integrations, contracts or partnerships. If stand size permits, provide a quieter meeting area without completely separating decision-makers from the booth experience.

Make visitor navigation obvious

A well-designed booth tells visitors where to enter, where to view technology and where to speak with staff. Avoid placing large counters directly across natural entrance points.

Exhibition Stand Design for Medical Imaging Brands

Medical technology companies need professional exhibition stand design that builds trust. The booth should feel technically credible while still being approachable.

Prioritise products and clinical value

Do not let architectural features overwhelm the technology. The stand design should direct attention to equipment, screens, demonstrations and the solutions visitors came to explore.

Use product zones when showcasing several modalities

A company presenting several solutions can organise the booth by modality, workflow or user need. Separate areas can help visitors understand where CT, MRI, AI, cloud, analytics or workflow technology fits within the portfolio.

Plan screens before walls

If screens are essential, determine quantity, size and viewing distance before finalising the architecture. This prevents later changes that affect graphics, wiring and structure.

Respect RSNA's professional exhibition environment

RSNA's exhibitor rules emphasise professional product demonstrations and prohibit various theatrical or entertainment-style attractions. Booth experiences should therefore focus on technology, education, demonstrations and meaningful engagement rather than unrelated spectacle.

Exhibition Stand Fabrication & Booth Building Process

After design approval, the project moves into exhibition stand fabrication. For an international event such as RSNA, production and venue logistics need to be coordinated closely.

1. Confirm the official stand allocation

Start with the exact hall, booth number, dimensions and booth type. RSNA uses different exhibit formats, including inline, end-cap, island, mobile and other special-interest configurations.

2. Define equipment and demonstration requirements

Create an inventory of every scanner, device, screen, workstation, server, display or physical product. Include dimensions, electrical requirements and installation requirements.

3. Develop the visitor-flow plan

Identify entrance points, demonstrations, meeting zones, reception, product displays and storage. Plan around expected visitor behaviour rather than simply filling available floor space.

4. Create the 3D exhibition stall design

Review the proposed booth from likely aisle angles. Confirm branding visibility, screen placement, equipment clearance and staff workflow before proceeding.

5. Technical drawings and approval

RSNA requires certain booth designs to be submitted for review. Its 2026 exhibitor schedule listed 31 August as the booth-design submission deadline for applicable exhibit types. Inline booths are not required to submit booth designs but still need to comply with inline-booth rules.

6. Exhibition stall fabrication

Krrish Creation's exhibition stall fabrication service connects the approved concept with structural construction, graphics, finishes, display elements and installation planning.

7. International logistics and freight planning

RSNA provides specific guidance for international exhibitors regarding freight, customs, material handling and temporary importation. International companies should plan shipping early and follow the current RSNA and McCormick Place requirements.

8. Move-in and installation

Targeted exhibitor move-in begins on 19 November 2026. Individual target dates depend on stand size, complexity, freight-door access and surrounding booths.

General move-in begins on 27 November. RSNA states that exhibits should be nearly complete by 4:30 p.m. on 28 November and show-ready by 9:00 a.m. on 29 November.

9. Final handover

Before opening, inspect lighting, branding, graphics, screens, product installations, furniture, demo systems and storage. Test any technology that depends on power or connectivity.

10. Dismantling

RSNA does not permit exhibitors to dismantle displays before 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 2 December. Dismantling and freight removal should follow the official move-out schedule.

How to Choose an Exhibition Stand Builder for RSNA 2026

Choose a builder that understands technical exhibits

A medical-imaging booth is different from a simple promotional kiosk. Equipment, software demos, electrical needs and clinical presentation environments need practical coordination.

Provide the official floor plan before design

The exhibition stand builder should use the real booth allocation rather than creating a concept around assumed dimensions.

Ask how large equipment will be integrated

If the booth includes scanners, medical devices or specialist equipment, discuss transport, access, installation and final positioning before approving architecture.

Check whether demonstration traffic has been considered

Popular product demos can attract groups. The layout should provide viewing space without pushing visitors into aisles.

Request a clear fabrication scope

Confirm exactly what is included in graphics, flooring, furniture, lighting, logistics, labour, installation and dismantling.

Confirm compliance responsibilities

RSNA and McCormick Place have detailed requirements. Clarify who reviews booth rules, who submits required approvals and who coordinates venue services.
