Exhibitor registration for MEDICA 2026 and COMPAMED 2026 in Düsseldorf is now open. The event will feature a new thematic structure based on extensive exhibitor and visitor surveys conducted during the 2025 trade fair.
The aim is to provide clearer technical orientation and to cluster the exhibition offerings according to needs and applications. Five main exhibition areas have been defined for MEDICA – from clinical diagnostics and therapeutic technologies to digital medicine, data and artificial intelligence to integrated care, health infrastructure, education and global health.
The specific hall allocation for the topics and exhibitors will take place at the start of the registration process at the end of June 2026. Specialist forums, special shows and conferences remain central components of the programme and will be integrated according to theme.
COMPAMED (in Halls 8a and 8b) will continue to focus on the high-tech supply expertise of the medical technology industry – including in the areas of manufacturing, lifecycle and obsolescence management, component modules and systems, materials, chemicals and surface technologies, compliance, quality, regulation and market access, software, digitalization, cybersecurity and future technologies.
Parallel to the further development of the content, Messe Düsseldorf is implementing its master plan for site optimisation, including the renovation of Hall 9 and the modernisation of the North Entrance.
Trade fair dates: 16–19 November 2026
