OTWorld

International Trade Show and World Congress

(15 to 18 May 2018)

Leipzig, 01 September 2016

New dates for OTWorld 2018

The largest international rendezvous for the sector, to be held in two years' time, is now set to begin a week later. The new dates for OTWorld, International Trade Show and World Congress, in 2018 are 15 to 18 May.

The preparations for the sector's next biggest worldwide rendezvous have now begun and the initial parameters for 2018 are being set. The concept of integrating the World Congress within the space occupied by the international trade show was awarded top marks by visitors, speakers and exhibitors alike, which is why it is again planned to build the OTWorld Congress Centre inside Exhibition Hall 3. As well as the unique atmosphere in the open-plan rooms, it was, above all, the short distances between the lecture rooms and the trade exhibition that were particularly well received.

In addition, after consultation with the Exhibitors' Advisory Committee, it was decided to postpone the event by one week; so that, in 2018, OTWorld will be inviting people to attend this, the world's largest sector rendezvous, a week later, from 15 to 18 May.

These framework parameters now offer the best conditions in which to successfully develop OTWorld further – in collaboration with its partners, Confairmed GmbH and the German Association of Orthopaedic Technology (BundesinnungsverbandfürOrthopädie-Technik).
