The ISC26 audience: Who you’ll meet and why it matters

Connecting you with the right people, in the right place, at the right time


The ISC26 audience: Who you’ll meet and why it matters

When deciding where to invest your exhibit dollars, one of the most important factors is the audience. Who will stop by your booth? Will they be the right fit for your product or solution? At ISC26, the answer is a clear yes.

This annual meeting attracts a uniquely targeted and influential group of stroke and cerebrovascular professionals who don’t just attend — they engage.

A community that drives stroke and cerebrovascular innovation
More than 5,200 professional attendees joined us in 2025, representing the full spectrum of stroke and cerebrovascular care. Two-thirds were practicing physicians and other stroke professionals, while the rest included scientists, nurse practitioners, nurses and key decision-makers from across the health care ecosystem. 

This audience isn’t passive — they come with purpose. Whether they’re seeking education, new technologies, or strategic partnerships, they’re motivated to explore the Science & Technology Hall and discover what’s next. In fact, two-thirds of attendees who visit the exhibit hall are looking for new products and services.

Specialists with specific interests — and real influence
ISC attendees are highly specialized professionals with deep expertise. In 2025, the top-attending specialties included:

  • Neurology: Stroke
  • Neurology: General
  • Neurology: Ischemic Stroke
  • Administration
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Critical Care/Intensive Care
  • Neurology: Critical Care
  • Neurology: Surgery
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology: Endovascular

 This breakdown reflects the breadth and depth of the field — and offers a clear opportunity to align your presence with the right segment of the market.

Engaged, domestic and exhibit hall focused
If you’re marketing primarily to U.S.-based customers, ISC offers a direct connection: 84% of attendees are domestic, maximizing your relevance with your target audience.

And they’re not just sitting in sessions: 85% visit the exhibit hall. Far from an afterthought, it’s a true destination.

Leading candidates ready to make their next career move 
The ISC26 Career Fair connects companies with a highly qualified and diverse pool of candidates specializing in neurology, nursing and physical therapy. This premier event offers a unique opportunity to engage with top talent in person and strengthen your workforce pipeline to meet both immediate and long-term hiring needs. 

Why this audience matters
Exhibiting at ISC isn’t about casting a wide net. It’s about precision. You’ll meet attendees who understand the science, ask informed questions, and are prepared to take action. They’re often involved in purchasing or product evaluation, and their feedback can help shape your strategy and fuel long-term growth.

Even better? 85% of attendees say they’d recommend ISC to a colleague. That kind of enthusiasm creates an environment where meaningful conversations and real relationships can thrive. 

Bottom line: ISC connects you with the right people, in the right place, at the right time. This isn’t just a conference — it’s a launchpad for lasting impact.
