Fira Barcelona will be the epicentre this autumn of international medical and technological advances.
After the summer break, trade fair activity returns to the Montjuic, Gran Via and the International Barcelona Convention Centre (CCIB), with a packed programme of congresses, events and fairs featuring some of today's most important conventions in the medical and technological fields.
Fira plans to organise and host more than a hundred trade fairs and activities in its three venues over the next four months, among which the medical and technological congresses will be especially prominent, with nearly twenty events and more than 100,000 high-level professionals expected to attend.

European Society of Retina Specialists. Meanwhile, the EBJIS, a congress of
the European Society of Bone and Joint Infections, will be held at the
Montjuïc venue. In October, the Fira Barcelona venues will host other events in the medical
field.
