As an organizer of more than 400 shows around the world, while always prepared for all possible scenarios, we are
confident the show will take place in November 2022. For CPHI Frankfurt, as long as there is not a ban on events, we have already investigated and planned all possible options to hold the show and keep it safe. As the situation and related regulations can change at any moment, we are ready to adapt our measures, actions and activities to reflect these changes.
The event is being organised in accordance with the industry-wide AllSecure Standard to ensure the highest standards of safety, hygiene, cleanliness and operational effectiveness for all participants. We are now successfully trading AllSecure live events in China, Japan, UAE and the United States based on these standards. Please see this website for more details.
Our new event model is based on engaging all attendees and visitors both before and after the in-person event. Unlike previous editions, we will enable attendees to access the matchmaking platform post-show to give them a chance to network in case they are unable to travel. Our online platform will provide those companies that are unable to exhibit with opportunities to engage and network.
For the time being, the decision has already been taken to hold the show and we are preparing for that. However, we will still regularly monitor closely local and international developments with our partners and local authorities. If such a decision needs to be made, it will be timely to minimize the impact.
