CPhI Frankfurt takes place next week: covering the full supply chain from research and manufacturing to packaging and finished products. Here’s five ideas on how to make the most of the event.

1. Walk the show floor

Taking place from November 1-3, the event is held at Messe Frankfurt in Germany. More than 1,150 exhibitors will be on show: the full list can be found here (which can be filtered by company type and category to help you find the exhibitors most relevant to your work)

Download the CPHI Frankfurt app to get access to your digital badge, venue navigation, attendee list, on-demand conference sessions, and much more.

2. Network

CPHI Frankfurt is for ‘any pharma professional looking to connect to the right people and products to help transform their business and improve their bottom line.’ Furthermore, 47% of attendees are C-Suite Executives while 78% have purchasing responsibility.

CPhI’s online platform can be used to schedule meetings either in person or online.

3. Learn

This year CPhI includes both an online and in-person conference schedule – and the online part has already begun! More than 50 speakers will give in-depth presentations on their areas of expertise.

In Frankfurt, head to the Conference Theatre for tracks on ingredients and formulations; future therapies; digital; manufacturing excellence and patient centricity. Meanwhile, the Product Innovation and Sustainability Theatre sessions will guide you through these all-important areas.

4. Get the latest insights

The 2022 CPHI Annual Report will be released on the first day of the show: putting the spotlight on industry trends, opportunities and challenges.

It’s a survey of over 400 industry executives from over 35 countries which provides an annual insight into the growth and development of the pharma industry globally. The survey evaluates likely trends for 2023 and assesses the reputations of major pharma markets across more than 10 separate metrics.

5. Celebrate great innovations

The CPhI Pharma Awards will be announced on the opening day of CPhI Frankfurt. Spanning 10 categories, the awards cover innovations across the full pharmaceutical supply chain and feature many of pharma’s biggest names and breakthrough companies (find the shortlist here).
