Free choice: Online or a special experience on-site
Based on the experience with the events held completely virtually in November 2020 due to the pandemic (but still drew a total of 45,000 unique users and 405,000 page views), program components that are in high demand will be offered both online and on-site and will be accessible and viewable via a simply structured ticketing system. This also applies to the forums which are integrated into the themed segments of the trade fairs, such as the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM (including the MEDICA Start-up COMPETITION and the Healthcare Innovation World Cup), MEDICA HEALTH IT FORUM, MEDICA TECH FORUM, MEDICA LABMED FORUM and the MEDICA ECON FORUM, organized by Messe Düsseldorf and the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK, a German health insurance fund). At COMPAMED 2021, the following forums are on the schedule: the COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM by IVAM with its special focus on microtechnology and nanotechnology and the COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM by DeviceMed, which reflects the entire field of development and manufacturing.

These highlights will be accompanied by a stage program in the center of the trade fair. Ticket holders can follow the lectures and discussions live via the MEDICA and COMPAMED portals.

With regard to the accompanying conferences and congresses, there is also a choice between on-site or virtual participation. This applies to the 44th German Hospital Conference, the leading event for the directors and managing executives of German hospitals, as well as two English-language conferences that address an international professional audience: The Disaster and Defense Medicine Conference DiMiMED and the MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE.
