At MEDICA 2009, November 18-21, 2009 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the U.S. Commercial Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce will offer a unique way for U.S. firms to optimize their participation in the world’s largest and most prestigious medical technology and equipment show. 

The Corporate Executive Office (CEO) at MEDICA 2009 provides the ideal opportunity to: 

• Showcase your product to over 137,500 “trade only” visitors from 85 countries.
• Expand your business to Europe and the world.
• Meet the finest partners, agents, distributors and customers from the 4,960 exhibitors.
• Strike business deals without the expense of an exhibition booth.

As a CEO participant you will receive:

• Full access to the CEO Business Center: a shared office center directly on the show floor with a comfortable work area. You will have a table with four chairs, unlimited Internet access, telephone, fax, and a photocopy machine available. Reception and hospitality service will also be provided. 

• A dedicated multilingual personal assistant: will work exclusively with you during the show to arrange a daily schedule of meetings with high-potential business partners, agents, and/or buyers.

Interest in your company will be captured (and sent to you) and matchmaking appointments will be arranged for you with visitors to MEDICA at the CEO.

• Complimentary promotion and listing on the official MEDICA portal at http://www.medica.de and on the websites of our U.S. Commercial Service office throughout Europe. Through these powerful tools, you will keep your company and its products in front of MEDICA customers and international businesses all year long!
