World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress Announces Speaker Ambassadors

Industry News

The Medical Tourism Association's annual congress and networking event, the World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress which takes place October 26-28th, 2009 is off to an amazing success with sponsors and speakers from health leaders, hospitals, governments and insurance companies from around the world. The conference will feature up to 2,000 attendees, over 120 exhibitors, 5,000 one on one networking meetings, and delegates from over 60 different countries!

This year's exhibit hall will feature over 120 exhibitors. More than half of the exhibit hall is already sold out and spaces are going fast! If you are interested in exhibiting now is the time to reserve your space. Contact us today at 561-792-6676 or by email, melissa@medicaltourismcongress.com


This is the one event per year where Employers, Self Funded Health Plans, Insurance Companies, and Medical Tourism Facilitators that are looking to outsource healthcare overseas have the opportunity to meet with top International Hospitals and Medical Tourism Companies in one place for the ultimate networking event.


World Medical Tourism & Global Health Congress will prearrange networking meetings to assist in the development of new relationships and valuable new contracts. I personally can't believe all these influential people will be in one room together!

While last year's Congress featured over 3,000 one-on-one private networking sessions, the 2nd Annual Congress is anticipated to have at least 5,000 one-on-one private networking meetings. This is the one event you cannot afford to miss! Add your company to the growing list of participants by going to: http://www.medicaltourismcongress.com.
