Show guideMedica 2026: dates, tickets, getting there and tips

Plan your visit

Registration & entry

Buy the ticket online — cheaper than on site and direct entry without queuing; exhibitor vouchers redeem in the same shop. The premium ticket covers MEDICA and COMPAMED for the full run plus the Wearable Technologies Conference Europe, MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS, the International Sports Pharmacy Symposium, masterclasses and the VIP room in Hall 1 — and exclusive entry one hour before opening via Entrance South.

Visa & travel documents

Germany dropped the invitation-letter requirement for fair visas in July 2013, so the organiser issues none — contact the German embassy or consulate directly. EXHIBITORS who present the Messe's exhibitor admission (Aussteller-Zulassung) with the application can have the visa issued free of charge.

Finding your way

Messe Düsseldorf. MEDICA runs alongside COMPAMED (medical components and suppliers) on the same grounds. Restaurants, snack bars, bistros and self-service outlets across the halls — the Service-ABC lists what is where. A stand-area cost calculator (Standflächen-Kostenrechner) is published for exhibitors.

What 4,821 exhibitors means on the floor.

Divide 4,821 stands across 4 days and you get about 1,205 a day at an even pace. Nobody walks Medica 2026 evenly — but that number is the reason the notes stop matching the cards by day two.

At 16 visitors per exhibitor, the traffic arrives faster than anyone can write it down. Scan the badge or the card, say what was discussed, and the lead lands structured in your Google Sheet, and a follow-up is drafted from your notes when you ask.
