Event Catalog & 12-Month Rollout

Where Opal exhibits, who we meet, what it costs. Built for Awais (Head of Events) to pick from with Jay. Lens: clinician-facing peptide buyer, RUO, cash-pay practice density.
Cadence target
1-2 events/mo now → 4/mo by May 2027
Strategic thesis
Boring trade shows with massive attendance, zero peptide competitors
Events catalogued
across 10 OPAL categories + B2C lane
Top bets flagged
Top peptide-clinician bet (SSRP) + 12 underserved events ranked by fit × audience × competitor absence

The strategic thesis. Most peptide brands fight for share at A4M, AMMG, AMWC. That market is crowded and expensive. The alpha is in massive trade shows where no peptide brand currently exhibits. Three patterns emerged from the scan:

1. Dental is the largest unconquered clinician audience. GNYDM (50k attendees), Chicago Midwinter (30k), CDA Presents (17k), AAO (10k+), Hinman (10k+). Zero peptide exhibitors at any of them in 2025 directories. BPC-157 and GHK-Cu have direct mechanism-of-action stories for periodontal regeneration, post-extraction healing, bone graft integration. AAOMS (oral surgeons) and AAP (periodontists) are the specialty meetings with the cleanest Rx scope.

2. Podiatry and hand surgery are second-tier goldmines. APMA The National for diabetic foot wound healing. ASSH for tendon and nerve regen. MD/DPM audiences with full Rx scope and cash-pay overlap.

3. The prescriber audience nobody hunts is NP/PA. AANP National (Vegas, Jun 23-27) draws thousands of nurse practitioners who write a huge share of cash GLP-1, TRT, HRT. Peptide brands chase MDs and miss them.

Required-credibility events (A4M LongevityFest, AMMG, IFM AIC, IHS NY) stay in the mix but should be second in year-one budget priority, not first.

Top bets: 1 must-attend + 12 underserved

★ SSRP Peptide World Congress is in its own tier — exact-ICP audience, peptide-clinician flagship. The 12 below are ranked by audience × clinical fit × competitor absence × cash-pay density.
