MEDICA, the world’s leading trade fair for the medical world, is preparing for a repeat success this year, after marking its 40th anniversary in 2009 with over 4,300 exhibitors and 137,000 visitors, from more than 100 countries.
MEDICA 2010, the 42nd World Forum for Medicine – International Trade Fair with Congress is taking place 17 to 20 November in Düsseldorf, and has already had a high number of registrations and a significant increase in the number of exhibitors in comparison to last year.
In parallel to MEDICA 2010, COMPAMED 2010, will take place in halls 8a and 8b of the Düsseldorf Exhibition Center, featuring over 500 exhibitors, presenting novel solutions and services for supplies to medical manufacturing, including micro system technology, nanotechnology and novel materials as well as packaging and services. COMPAMED has equally seen a very high number of registrations so far.
The largest proportion of space at MEDICA 2010 will be accounted for by exhibitors from Italy, China, the United Kingdom, the USA and France. Leading innovators such as Siemens, Getinge-MAQUET, the MMM Group, Karl Storz and Systema, will also once again be represented at MEDICA. MEDICA 2010 will also host the 33rd German Hospital Conference, the leading event for decision makers in hospital management.
The trade fair will once again feature the established themed areas such as MEDICA MEDIA (telemedicine/medical IT), MEDICA VISION (the innovation forum for the research institutes) and MEDICA PHYSIO. Key topics will include electromedicine/medical technology, laboratory technology/diagnostics, physiotherapy/orthopaedic technology, medical products (devices and consumables), information and communication technology, medical furniture and furnishings. Key topics at the MEDICA Congress will also include lectures on major common diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and age-related diseases as well as advanced training courses on subjects such as sonography, emergency medicine and endoscopy.
Together, MEDICA 2010 and COPAMED 2010 are set to once again completely fill all 19 halls at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Center.
