What's in the Scope of IDEF?
About the Pavilion
Prime exhibit space & quality designs
Built on the idea that an organized group of USA exhibitors is easier to find than stand-alone booths scattered throughout a show, the USA Partnership Pavilion always attracts a crowd.
Meet qualified buyers
Connect with key decision-makers from government entities, hospitals, healthcare organizations, dealers, and distributors. From our VIP Tour to Networking events, the USA Partnership Pavilion will attract the people you need to meet.
Professional Amenities and Staff
Every USA Partnership Pavilion is staffed by an experienced event team dedicated to your success. Whether you need a liaison to the organizers, tech support, a contractor, caterer, translator, printer, or help tracking down a shipment... we're here to help.
Build key relationships
Cultivate relationships, build strong connections, and establish lasting partnerships with your peers as you meet face-to-face.
Exclusive events and programs
As an exhibitor you have exclusive access to all Pavilion events, including our Opening Ceremony and Ribbon-Cutting, off and on-site hospitality receptions, business and market insight briefings, and special presentations.
Exhibit Options
From first concepts to finishing touches, our global network of professional designers, suppliers and builders stands ready to deliver our best for your brand. Whether you’re looking to build a small-scale sales and promotional stand or a larger multipurpose presence, the Partnership Pavilion offers three booth options to fit every purpose at any price.

Exhibit Outside the Pavilion at IDEF
Not only can our team find you a great location in the USA Partnership Pavilion, but as the U.S. Representative of IDEF, if you prefer a specific location in the show at large, we’re also here to help. Either way, we’re focused on helping your company engage in the dynamic Turkish market in a manner that best aligns with your marketing needs.
"We have exhibited at Milipol twice. Once on our own and then once in the US Pavilion with the Kallman group. We got far greater exposure and support by being associated with Kallman and the US Pavilion than we did going it alone. It is a great way to leverage a limited budget and a small stand and we plan to continue working with them in the future."

"I’ve never received such great support at a show! International shows have their added challenges, and Kallman clearly knows how to adapt and take care of the booth teams in attendance. We’ve had numerous comments from the upper management on the great booth design. All agree the custom work you did was perfect in showcasing our products and services. Looking forward to working more shows together! Thank you to you and your team."
