Welcome to IMTEC - The world's first global medical travel event

Medical Travel is the concept of people travelling abroad to receive medical, clinical or surgical treatments in a country and environment with greater benefits than receiving the treatment in their home country.

Affordability, availability, specialization and quality of treatment are key reasons why more and more people are travelling abroad to receive medical, dental and surgical procedures. Taking place in the neutral country of Monaco, IMTEC 2013 is the place for the global medical travel industry to meet, do business, network and formulate best practice under one roof.

Traditionally, medical travel events have been domestic-based shows promoting medical travel to and from the hosting country alone. Therefore, to network with businesses and associations all over the world, it would involve huge levels of expenditure, time and travel.

By bringing together the entire global healthcare travel market including medical service providers, healthcare professionals, international hospitals, health insurance companies, and more under one roof, IMTEC 2013 will challenge the traditional method of travelling from domestic show to domestic show, saving you time, effort and money.

IMTEC 2013 will also introduce the Commissioners of Medical Travel (CMT) Programme, who are qualified healthcare buyers responsible for sending large numbers of patients abroad for healthcare treatment and will be looking to source new healthcare providers at the event.

The International Medical Travel Exhibition and Conference - IMTEC 2013 is also hosting a number of destination shows as part of the two-day event. Destination shows are an opportunity for you to discover exactly what can be offered in certain countries to distinguish themselves within the international healthcare travel market.

What the expert speakers have said about IMTEC

"IMTEC 2013 is a must attend event for those who are serious about the medical travel business. There's a plethora of events out there but most are focused on one destination or one market and are 'self-congratulatory' but only a handful addressed the real issues that this promising industry is facing. IMTEC needs to be in your diary now.

Keith Pollard, Managing Director, Intuition Communication, UK

"We are at an important stage of launching the brand and a host of initiatives to promote Dubai Medical Tourism as a viable opportunity for the health and tourism sectors in Dubai. IMTEC would provide us an opportunity to showcase our capabilities and strengths as a medical tourism destination; it would enable us to network and build relationships with health buyers and facilitators and we believe this is a very good forum for stakeholders in the medical tourism business to participate, engage and learn from each other's experience."

Laila Al Jassmi, CEO of Health Policy and Strategy Sector, Dubai Health Authority (DHA), UAE

"The upcoming IMTEC 2013 Conference promises to be one of the most authentic events in promoting medical travel. It is indeed THE event that contributes immensely to the medical travel community providing insights, education and proven information from the leaders of this emerging industry."

Ilan Geva, CEO, Owner, Ilan Geva & Friends, USA

"My experience at the previous medical travel conference in Berlin was beyond expectations. I'm looking forward to participating at the upcoming IMTEC - International Medical Travel Exhibition and Conference in Monaco in March 2013 chaired by Dr. Uwe Klein. It will be a unique platform to share best practices promoting healthcare for international patients. This is THE medical travel conference that should not be missed."

Jim Tate, Founder and President, The Medical Travel Commission, USA

"I am personally and professionally thrilled to see EMTC joining forces with Informa to create a robust international global healthcare forum. Informa's vast reach combined with Dr. Klein's vision will for the first time bring a vital mix of stakeholders together to explore and discuss new trends in research, technology, marketing, patient experience, best practices and more."

Josef Woodman, President, Patients Beyond Borders, USA
