Last year was my first year at Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and my first time in Chicago. What struck me when I was there was there was how uncommon that experience was.
Almost every discussion brought up the question, “So, have you been here many times before?”
The number of people that said “Yes, this is my 15th, 20th or even 30th year attending” was more common than I expected.
It shouldn’t have been though. RSNA is an institution with well over 100 years of history with the city of Chicago, founded in 1915 at The Sherman Hotel. A decade before a certain Al Capone was making a name for himself in the Windy City, RSNA was already in existence.
As you can imagine, I didn’t find anyone who was around back then, but what’s clear is that radiology is a space that people rarely leave, and RSNA is the place to come together to share ideas year after year.
So, what about those attending, or even exhibiting for the first time?
For all the experienced attendees looking to catch up with old friends and colleagues, there are plenty of interesting organizations that will be exhibiting at RSNA for the first time this year. So I wanted to highlight some that you should make time to meet.

The Better Medicine team will be at booth 3844 in the First-Time Exhibitor Pavilion and are well worth a discussion.
