MEDICA 2026 is scheduled for 16 to 19 November in Düsseldorf. The event will run alongside COMPAMED, maintaining the Rhine city’s position as a major destination for medical-technology trade fairs.
Organizers are introducing a new Main Stage for keynotes from medicine, business, science and policy. They are also adding a first German Health Resilience Conference focused on healthcare systems prepared for crises.
New formats for a dense healthcare floor
The 2026 edition will change its thematic structure, exhibition areas and networking formats. These adjustments are intended to shape how hospital buyers, device makers and other professionals move through the event.
Hospital buyers and medical-device companies continue to treat the Düsseldorf week as one of the year’s densest medical-technology floors. RSNA in Chicago follows at the end of November, creating a close sequence for companies working across Medical, Healthcare and Medical Technology.
The revised programme places MEDICA within a wider calendar of international trade shows, conferences and business events. For exhibitors, the combination of product areas, policy discussion and networking offers several routes to reach professional visitors.
