General Questions

What is the age limit to attend the event?

As CPHI Frankfurt is a trade event, no one under 18 years will be allowed to enter the exhibition.

What does each zone/vertical mean? And where is what in the halls?

Our zones have been renamed to make it easier to navigate the event. The new zone names are: 

API  

Excipients 

Fine Chemicals 

Natural Extracts 

Integrated Pharma  

Contract Manufacturing & Services 

Finished Dosage Forms 

Packaging & Drug Delivery 

Pharma Machinery & Equipment 

To understand what is where in the halls, have a look at the venue map.

Are you confident in running the CPHI Frankfurt event in November 2022?

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.

Do you foresee a hybrid event where some elements are in-person and some are online?

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.

At what time will it be decided whether the event will happen or be postponed again? How many weeks in advance can we expect a decision from Informa Markets?

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.

Do you have any research on projected attendee numbers for exhibitors and visitors?

We frequently gauge the pharma community and their willingness to travel to shows in detail via surveys, one-to-one meetings and also with independently-commissioned research. We also take into account the current state of the general business travel industry to be better prepared and informed.

Will there be a cloakroom facility at the event?

Yes, there will be cloak room facilities in Torhouse, Galleria, Porthalhouse, Hall 3. The cost will be 2 Euros per item.

Where can I get a pass for the event?

Other than walking, is there an alternative way to get around the different halls in CPHI Frankfurt?

We have organized a hall shuttle service. These are standard shuttle busses and are only accessible on the fairground of the Messe Frankfurt.  
 
The buses are free of charge for attendees of the event. During show hours the hall shuttle will connect all relevant halls with the entrances (after registration); to be able to move quickly from any point to another. The Hall shuttle has a schedule of leaving every 2 - 3 minutes.   
 
Have a look at the venue map to understand where the hall shuttle bus stops are located. 

Is there an airport shuttle to the event?

Yes, there is an Airport Shuttle service from the airport to the event. The cost for this service is app. 10-15€, which you have to pay directly on board. The airport shuttle leaves from the two airport terminals and will drive you directly to CPHI Frankfurt. The airport shuttle leaves every 10-15 min. in the mornings and on Thursday afternoon and around every 30 minutes during all other times.  

If I come by car, what is the best way to get to the event?

Please use the Rebstock parking. From there, take the Parking Shuttle  
This service is free of charge for attendees of the event. The parking shuttle leaves directly from the Rebstock parking storey and will drive directly to CPHI (entrance Portalhaus by halls 11 and 12). The parking shuttle has a schedule of leaving every 3 - 10 minutes.
