Registration for visitors is typically completed online via the official MEDICA website, where tickets can be purchased and sometimes combined with public-transport access. Exhibitors can register using online forms provided by Messe Düsseldorf, as noted in the exhibitor registration communications.

Düsseldorf regularly hosts major trade fairs at Messe Düsseldorf, including COMPAMED, which runs in parallel with MEDICA and focuses on medical technology components and supplier solutions. The venue also hosts other industrial and consumer exhibitions throughout the year.

MEDICA typically hosts more than 5,000 exhibitors and attracts around 80,000 visitors from over 165 countries, making it a global marketplace for medical technology and healthcare solutions.

International visitors usually fly into Düsseldorf Airport or nearby airports such as Cologne/Bonn, then use rail or road connections to reach the city. It is advisable to book accommodation well in advance, as MEDICA attracts large international attendance and hotels near the fairground and city centre fill quickly. The official communications stress MEDICA’s global scale, indicating significant travel demand during the event.
