Maine International Trade Center Trade Missions and Shows
MEDICA Düsseldorf, Germany, Nov. 18-21, 2009

Participation is on a first come basis. The payment and registration deadline, June 30, 2009, has now passed.
Why the Best of New England booth?
  • Location, Location, Location! The Best of New England Booth (BNE) has a prime location at MEDICA. At the end of a key thoroughfare within the US Pavilion, with three open sides, our access to traffic is envied by many.
  • Size and cost Matter. The BNE booth is 1/2 the price of a solitary booth and 3 times the size.
  • General MEDICA registration is already closed. General registration for solitary booths at MEDICA closed in April.
  • Expert staff. The BNE booth has expert staff who have been to MEDICA before and can assist you with your needs while there.
  • Free marketing! Yes, free. The BNE booth and the U.S. Dept. of Commerce offer to BNE companies several ways to promote your exhibition and presence at MEDICA. Plus, meet with U.S. Commerce Medical Device/Services specialists from various European countries.
  • U.S. Pavilion Lounge. As part of the US Pavilion, you get access to the lounge for extra space, free snacks and beverages and more!
  • Much, much More! Internet and electrical access, exhibitor passes, locked closet space, cleaning services, access to receptions, extra furniture, appealing signage and graphics.

Additional programs
  • Showcase Global Program – The U.S. Commercial service will conduct pre-show promotion on your company's behalf via their European-wide network at other U.S. Embassies and Consulates to alert international distributors that you will be at the show, and invite them to visit our booth.
  • Showtime – Meet one-on-one with the medical industry specialists from the U.S. Commercial Service from around the world. These specialists can give you in-depth information on the markets in their countries, including sales opportunities and applicable regulations.
