In Mexico City, ExpoMed – Mexico’s leading, annual healthcare exhibition, runs each June.
“Healthcare is a strategic vertical for UBM Americas, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, where public and private healthcare spending and service markets are growing rapidly,” said Scott Schulman, CEO, UBM Americas. “With ExpoMed’s leading position in Mexico, and Live Healthcare’s complementary fit with UBM Brazil’s existing Hospitalar event, we are confident that these two bolt-on acquisitions will greatly contribute to the long-term growth of our healthcare portfolio -- and our position as a leader in the Latin America healthcare market.”

ExpoMed is Mexico’s leading, annual healthcare exhibition and runs each June in Mexico City. It is known for connecting vendors of medical equipment to buyers and executives from private and public hospitals, clinics, and distributors. ExpoMed is considered the must-attend healthcare event in Mexico. The 2018 edition took place June 6-8.

Live Healthcare is a platform that connects major healthcare players to inspire industry change and empower leaders. Live brings with it the Saude Business Forum (SBF), which focuses on executive networking and one-on-one meetings for healthcare CEOs and innovative vendors, as well as Healthcare Innovation Show (HIS), a technology and innovation exhibition attended by senior healthcare executives. Live also runs the healthcare portal saudebusiness.com, which drives database and community engagement for the events. HIS will take place September 19-20 at the Sao Paulo Expo, Sao Paulo and SBF will run in the first half of 2019.
