Medtrade is an international trade conference in the field of medical supplies for the healthcare industry, which after a makeover in 2009 was to focus on advocacy, government affairs and continuing education. Medtrade hosts two events annually in the United States of America on varying dates.
Medtrade serves buyers and sellers of the home health care marketplace. The exposition (exhibit hall) product categories include mobility, respiratory, sleep, rehab products and aids to daily living. Other events within Medtrade include fundraising receptions from organizations for patient advocacy. Medtrade's average exhibit hall size in 2013 was 145,000 square feet, with 500 exhibitors and 7,000 attendees.
Beginning in 2023, the two annual Medtrade East (Atlanta, GA) and Medtrade West (Las Vegas, NV) conferences were consolidated into a single Medtrade conference held annually in Dallas, TX.
Company history
