The kick-off for exhibitor registration for MEDICA 2026 and COMPAMED 2026 in Düsseldorf has taken place (duration: 16–19 November), and the booking phase for the leading international trade fairs for the medical technology industry and its supplier sector has begun.
This is based on a completely revised thematic structure for the exhibition areas. The aim is to provide even clearer technical orientation and to cluster exhibitor offerings in line with demand and trends. The allocation of registered exhibitors and thematic exhibition areas to halls will take place at the start of the approval process at the end of June 2026.
COMPAMED continues to focus on the supplier sector of the medical technology industry and will remain in Halls 8a and 8b. Complemented by a coordinated stage programme, the main exhibition areas here include Manufacturing, lifecycle and obsolescence management; Components, modules & systems; Materials, chemicals & surface technologies; and Software/Cyber security.
Regardless of the reorientation of content, extensive construction work is underway at the Düsseldorf exhibition centre. Hall 9 will be completely renovated and technically re-equipped in 2026 and 2027 as part of a master plan to optimise the exhibition grounds. During this period, it will not be available as an exhibition hall.
