It is time to get into gear. In the coming months our digital laws will create conditions for better treatment and research."

Melanie Wendling, managing director, bvitg e. V., organizer of DMEA: "We saw it last year already - DMEA is simply better as an in-person event! We look forward to the many exhibitors and trade visitors and naturally to be able to offer such a wide-ranging and fascinating congress programme again. DMEA is not merely an industrial trade fair. DMEA is the future. This is where we see and discuss what digitalised healthcare can and should look like."

Dirk Hoffmann, CEO Messe Berlin: "With over 700 exhibitors from around 30 countries and a wide-ranging congress programme, DMEA is bigger and attracting more international participation than ever. DMEA has confirmed its standing as Europe's leading health IT event. DMEA is the main platform for everyone aiming to drive the digital transformation in the healthcare system - be they in industry, politics, self-government and research or users such as care workers and doctors."
