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 2021. For CPhI Worldwide, 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.
While the number of visitors is one of the event industry’s metrics to measure the success of a trade show, we always believe that quality should take precedence over quantity. Therefore, should we ever consider taking such a step, the number of visitors will not alone be a measure or a criteria on which to base such a decision.
That is why we will focus on the ROI of more than one or two criteria. And this will be based on timely market surveys, detailed analysis and projections.
We will follow all local government rules that are in place at the time of the event including hall and venue density.
Our hybrid 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. Other platforms like CPhI Discover, Webinar series etc. 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.

Online pre-registration including a health declaration will be required to attend the event to reduce the crowds in the registration areas. Onsite registration will not be possible. The entrances and registration areas will be spread around the venue and will be designed to allow for safe queueing and contact-less access into the venue.
Crowd Density Modelling calculations have been done to determine how many attendees can be in the halls at one single point in time. The number of attendees that can enter the venue depends on the size of the event and the space available. CPhI has a large enough space to accommodate our historic number of attendees.
