MEDICA Education Conference Will Focus on Surgery Innovations

The MEDICA 2015 (Düsseldorf, Germany) Education Conference will highlight systems that require medical and technological expertise to be closely connected.

The conference will be held concomitant to the MEDICA 2015 World Forum for Medicine, which will take place during November 2015 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf (Germany). As in previous years, the German Association for Internal Medicine (DGIM), together with Messe Düsseldorf (Germany), will be organizing the conference, is intended as a professional development event for all medical fields and for representatives from both academia and industry.


Each of the four days of the conference will focus on a different theme, with three parallel events taking place at the same time, and two courses that fit the theme lasting the whole day. On the first day, experts from the hospital, research, and industrial sectors will explain and discuss tools that will provide support for the surgery room of the future and new operating techniques. The three other days of the conference will focus, respectively, on imaging, endoscopy, and interventions; geriatrics, palliative care, and nutritional medicine; and infectiology, inflammation, and laboratory medicine.

The education conference day ticket also entitles the holder to explore the MEDICA trade fair on the same day, offering participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge on innovations in the fields of science and medical technology by visiting the MEDICA trade fair halls, where more than 4,800 exhibitors will present their latest innovations in surgery and other fields of medicine. The time structure of the conference has been set up accordingly, with the last conference event ending at 4:00 pm; the trade fair will stay open until 6:30 pm.

Also, starting in 2015, MEDICA, and the COMPAMED international trade fair for suppliers of the medical technology industry will be held at the same time, running from Monday to Thursday, November 16–19, 2015. Focusing on the “normal” working days of the week (instead of Wednesday to Saturday, as was the case up until now) will make it possible to provide better guest distribution for the professional audience across all four days in the future, enabling exhibitor presentations as well as their stand infrastructure to be utilized in a more consistent manner.
