Who Are You Going to Meet? 

DMEA is a cross-sector meeting point. The target audience is IT specialists and professionals in the field of medicine like doctors, nurses, technicians and managers from hospitals and nursing. However, the trade fair appeals to a variety of other experts working in the fields of politics, science and research. The modernisation of the medical industry is a complex process that requires knowledge and know-how from a lot of related fields. 

The trade fair remains firmly in service of the German market. Only a small portion of exhibitors and visitors are foreign nationals. On the exhibitor side, there are companies from Switzerland, the UK, the US, Canada, Finland, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, Türkiye and Israel. A couple of the big names you can expect to see on the exhibition floor include Doctolib, m.Doc, medatixx, Smartify IT Solutions and Meierhofer. 

Roughly 88% of all trade visitors are based in Germany with the remainder travelling from all over Europe with strongest numbers from Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, France, Finland and the UK. In recent years, DMEA has positioned itself as an emerging global event with growing visitor numbers from Asia (China, India, South Korea) and North America (Canada and the US). 

Going by professional backgrounds, IT professionals have the highest concentration. In general, 8 out of 10 visitors are involved in the decision making process or have real purchasing power. You meet with project and product managers, board members, managing director, business managers, sales representatives, physicians, administration and developers. 

Additional Value of Attendance 

For some extra targeted foot traffic to your exhibition booth, you could sign up to be featured on one of the 12 themed guided tours. Each guided tour lasts for an hour and allows a maximum of five exhibitors per tour. Each exhibitor has the chance to pitch their products and services for eight minutes. More than ample time to generate sales leads and exchange contact information.

The Solutions Hub is a similar tool for gaining insights and achieving visibility. Here exhibitors hold 10-minute presentations on their work and offerings in a dedicated presentation space across 11 thematic sessions. Each thematic session allows for the presentation of 4 different companies in total. The themes for 2023 include Cloud computing in the healthcare system, Data governance, Data protection and IT security, Digital patient empowerment, Laws, specifications and guidelines, Telemedicine, Digitalisation in nursing care, Medical technology meets IT, Standards in healthcare, TI applications, and Certification. 

Thanks to a robust programme surrounding professional development, DMEA also attracts pupils, students and graduates, who are taking their first steps in making a career in health IT. The DMEA sparks area is dedicated to providing newcomers with all the information and resources they need to get started on their professional path. This includes lectures, discussion rounds, Meet2Match and networking. It’s an extensive programme that yields great results and is the most efficient way to recruit for your organisation.
