Companies and institutions still have until June 30 to secure the attractive early bird rate for their stand space at REHAB 2025 and request their desired placement. In addition to price advantages, new presentation options are also available

In cooperation with the Bundesverband für Menschen mit Arm- oder Beinamputation e. V. (BMAB), the trade fair team is planning a themed special “Mobile with prostheses” for the first time and will offer a few exclusive presentation opportunities as part of a specialized exhibition accompanying the CON.THERA therapist congress. The 23rd REHAB Karlsruhe - one of the world's leading trade fairs for rehabilitation, therapy, care and inclusion will take place at Messe Karlsruhe from May 22 to 24, 2025. Further information, registration forms and contact details can be found at www.rehab-karlsruhe.com/de/ausstellen.

Leading trade fairs such as REHAB Karlsruhe are crucial for companies to present themselves to the market in a dynamic environment, strengthen direct customer contact and expand networks. Exhibitors have the opportunity to present themselves in one of the eleven marketplaces, such as “Mobility and Everyday Aids”, “Child and Youth Rehabilitation”, “Homecare and Nursing” or “Therapy and Practice”, in line with their focus. Start-ups and research institutions can also benefit from attractive, discounted presentation opportunities, for example with a joint stand at the “Future Pavilion” themed marketplace. Special conditions are also available for self-help groups and non-profit organizations.

REHAB impresses exhibitors with a good two-thirds share of trade visitors: here they meet trade visitors from the fields of occupational therapy and physiotherapy, orthopaedic technology, the medical supply trade, medicine and care, among others. According to the visitor survey, more than two-thirds visit REHAB exclusively and do not attend any other related trade fairs. Almost 90 percent of exhibitors would recommend the trade fair to others, while almost 97 percent are satisfied or very satisfied with the overall concept.

The CON.THERA specialist congress for interdisciplinary training in the field of neurorehabilitation took place for the second time in 2023 alongside REHAB. In order to promote the interlinking of the professional groups involved in therapeutic care, both self-employed and employed physiotherapists and occupational therapists, rehabilitation and orthopaedic technicians and speech therapists received interdisciplinary training at the congress.

New presentation and advertising opportunities can now be booked for 2025: Exhibitors will have the chance to present their products and services in a perfect B2B environment with a perfect fit and without wastage as part of a specialized exhibition on the conference floor. In addition, various print, online and special advertising formats can be booked for the CON.THERA congress for therapists. An overview can be found online.

The high level of satisfaction among congress participants speaks for itself: 92% would recommend the congress to their colleagues, while 97% gave it top marks overall. In addition, 86 percent plan to attend the congress again. The last CON.THERA congress offered 20 specialist presentations for around 200 participants over three days. Renowned lecturers spoke on topics such as rehabilitation after a stroke diagnosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, as well as treatment options for spasticity, fatigue and interdisciplinary pediatric therapy.

REHAB Karlsruhe provides impetus and showcases technical developments to improve the quality of life and participation of people with disabilities. It has been firmly anchored in the industry's calendar for almost 45 years and is the most important platform for high-quality mobility aids and children's aids from Germany and other European countries every two years. This is where the various specialist areas of the assistive technology industry come together for an interdisciplinary exchange and to discover the latest trends, therapy offers and innovations in the industry.

At the last edition in 2023, the trade fair attracted around 12,000 trade and private visitors. Over 300 exhibitors from 17 countries presented their products and services from the rehabilitation, orthopaedic and medical technology, care and therapy sectors in three exhibition halls. Eleven themed marketplaces offered a high-quality and broad product portfolio. Qualified experts and self-help groups were available for personal discussions, while important topics and trends in the provision of assistive devices were highlighted on three stages in presentations, discussion panels and workshops.

The next REHAB will take place from May 22 to 24, 2025.
