Become an Exhibitor

For more than 25 years COA has brought together orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic practice managers from the entire state in one place to provide them with the latest clinical research, practice management issues, and information on workers’ compensation. COA also brings together a great array of exhibitors to provide attendees with the services/devices necessary to run an efficient practice.

Being the largest orthopaedic meeting in California, we bring together more than 500 Orthopaedic Surgeons and over 70 Practice Managers from a variety of practice settings and educational entities.

We invite you to be part of another successful meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel.
