New at MEDICA 2026: The MEDICA Masterclasses give selected healthcare topics the time and space they deserve.
From 16 to 18 November 2026, experts from medicine, healthcare, science and clinical practice will host 90-minute sessions in rooms 15 and 16 above Hall 1. With deliberately limited group sizes, the focus is not simply on listening, but on professional exchange, practical experience and questions that often receive too little attention in traditional stage formats.
A Masterclass is therefore more than a presentation: it combines expert knowledge and practical insights with discussion and direct exchange. Depending on the topic, sessions focus on practical examples, specific areas of application, current developments or the discussion of shared challenges.
Registration: separate registration required for each masterclass
Language: German or English, depending on the masterclass in question
What makes the MEDICA Masterclasses different?
90 minutes dedicated to one topic The longer session allows participants to explore a selected topic in greater depth and discuss individual aspects in detail.
Small groups, personal exchange Participant numbers are deliberately limited, creating a focused setting for questions, discussion and direct interaction with experts.
Practical and topical The Masterclasses address issues shaping healthcare and the healthcare industry today and in the future, from AI and resilience to market access, prevention, diagnostics and patient safety.
Direct access to expertise The Masterclasses bring together recognised experts with different experiences and perspectives, creating space for exchange that is often difficult to achieve on a large stage.
Exclusively for Premium Ticket holders
The MEDICA Masterclasses are an exclusive offer for holders of a MEDICA Premium Ticket.
As the number of participants in each Masterclass is limited, separate registration for the desired Masterclass is required in addition to the Premium Ticket. Places are allocated subject to availability.
