ABOUT THE EVENT
HOSPITALAR 2009 – 16th International Fair of Products, Equipment, Services and Technology for Hospitals, Laboratories, Pharmacies, Clinics and Medical Offices – the largest healthcare event in Latin America and second worldwide – will present its largest edition ever from June 2nd to 5th.
The fair will occupy a total area of 82,000 sqm in the exhibition halls of Expo Center Norte, 20% more than the previous edition, gathering around 1,200 exhibiting companies from over 30 countries. In four days of event, HOSPITALAR 2009 is expected to receive more than 78 thousand professional visitors, including directors of hospitals, clinics and laboratories, medical doctors, nurses, entrepreneurs and other healthcare professionals.
HOSPITALAR 2009 will also be the first fair to occupy entirely the new facilities of Expo Center Norte, which now offers much more exhibition space, a new Entry Hall, 17 modern auditoriums, air-conditioning in all the complex, food service, parking lot for 20 thousand vehicles and many other services for exhibitors and visitors.
To be held during a period of expectation as to the directions of the global economy, HOSPITALAR’s 16th edition will be an important performance indicator of the health area, a sector which has a turnover of more than R$ 200 billion a year and represents about 8% of the national GDP.
The 2008 edition of the fair generated R$ 4.4 billion in sales and received visitors from all over Brazil and from nearly 70 countries. During the event, the visitors have the opportunity to get to know what’s new in terms of products, equipment and technologies for the healthcare sector, establishing commercial contacts with reflections for over 90 days after the fair. The expectation around this edition is positive, based on the high volume of investment made by hospitals and industries, aiming to expand and qualify their services.
