XPOMET© Convention 2018The Convention for Innovation and

High-Tech in Medicine

March 21–23, 2018KONGRESSHALLE am Zoo Leipzig, Germany

These and other questions form the very basis of the XPOMET© Con-

vention. By bringing together interdisciplinary networking, the inter-

national transfer of ideas and knowledge, relevant debate and diverse

partners within a three-day, interactive event, an innovation network

will be created for the entire medical sector.

Medical advances are increasingly based on interdisciplinary networ-king. Technologies and brilliant minds that previously had little to do with medicine are suddenly relevant and becoming major game-chan-gers. Big players are seeking young guns, career-changers are shaking up the market, and technological development is rapidly accelerating. We face huge opportunities, yet also considerable risks – and some substantial unknowns.But who can broker this new, relevant knowledge, which is key not just to pushing back the boundaries of medicine but also to safety and quality of life? How can potential partners from entirely different fields and no previous contact find each other?

Background

XPOMET© will be held from March 21 to 23, 2018 at KONGRESSHALLE

am Zoo Leipzig – and will focus exclusively on the presentation of

medical advances. It will showcase individuals, companies and insti-

tutions that are a driving force in the development of medicine as a

whole. The Convention is aimed at all stakeholders in the healthcare

sector, especially physicians, decision-makers in medical institutions,

biomedical engineers, pharmacy and biotech professionals, and also

students. It will consist of an Innovation Congress, five Vision Stages,

the Future Health Exhibition, a partnering event, various side-events,

and the Startup Section.

Framework

Innovation Halls I + II:Platforms for the XPOMET© Innovation Congress with award-winning innovators from Germany and abroad

Vision Market:Platform for the driving forces of the market: forward-thinking companies and start-ups

Sandbox:Visionary projects still in their infancy – a platform for faculties, medical media and future visions

Discussion Bowl:Think tanks, fish bowls, vision workshops and bar camps – the stage for interactive formats and tomorrow’s exciting themes

XPOMET© Vision Stages

Apart from the modern format of XPOMET©, which provides all participants with a special platform for presentation and networking, the Innovation Congress is likely to prove of particular interest. Featuring award-winning international experts, it will address cutting-edge developments in medicine and healthcare. And at the end of each day, the findings and proposals from the papers and discussions will be compiled and delivered to the medical sector, researchers, industry and politicians. Our think tank sessions devoted to aspects such as the future of emergency medicine or tomorrow’s technology and development requirements from the patient’s viewpoint look set to pro-ve particularly stimulating.

(All sessions will be simultaneously interpreted from English into German or German into English)

Day 3: Technology to Marvel

The Future Health Exhibition is divided into Future Health Pavilions, where businesses can showcase themselves as the foremost innovators in their segment. The focus here is on innovation, ideas and interaction. Mind you, we intend to enable companies, institutes and start-ups to do more than ‘just’ present themselves at the Future Health Exhibition. We’ll have a number of structures in place to bring potential partners from different sectors together, allowing ideas and products to be displayed in context and shown in action:

Future Health Pavilions:Future Living | Future Care | Future Hospital (OR - Care) | Future ER | Assistive Tech | Optimized Self | Smart Education | Dx² - Medical Diagnostics New Pharma & Biotech | Regenerative Medicine & Smart Implants Doctor‘s Offi ce 4.0 | Digital Health & Big Data | International Health

Showcase Structures within the Exhibition:The Smart Health Home | The Doctor‘s Offi ce 4.0 | The Future OR The Future ER | The Hospital Room of the Future

All participating start-ups can submit their projects up to six weeks prior to the event – and the expert jury will then decide which start-ups will be invited to pitch on the Vision Market stage. The first prize is currently €5,000 together with coaching from startmeupnow! worth €1,000. The runner-up will also receive €1,000 worth of coaching from startmeupnow!

The Start-up Award Pitch

Partnering Event

XPOMET© is a platform for extensive networking and interaction.

The Partnering Event is intended above all to bring potential partners

from completely different areas together in face-to-face meetings. Our

partnering software will go online for all participants about two months

before the Convention.

Festival

To turn participation into a memorable experience and to underline

the fascination of medical innovation, the main event will be sup-

plemented by art and live music as well as food trucks and

numerous gadgets. Instead of just an event, a whole festival will

be devoted to future medicine!

XPOMET© Network and Festival

Side-EventsNetworking is much easier in a relaxed environment and a pleasant atmosphere! We’ll therefore be creating as many networking oppor-tunities as possible for our participants:

• VIP Podium, reception and tour (invite only)

• Official get-together on Day 2 of the Convention in conjunction with the City of Leipzig followed by our #SuperScience Party

• Closing event
