Next year will see CPhI Worldwide and its collocated events, ICSE, P-MEC and InnoPack return to Frankfurt (Germany). The event is due to take place at the Messe Frankfurt on 22–24 October so keep the dates free!

Frankfurt first hosted CPhI in 1990; indeed, it was the location of the first ever CPhI trade show, attracting 16 exhibitors and 250 delegates as a specialist event dedicated to ingredients and intermediates. Frankfurt has been a regular venue for the show ever since and last played host to CPhI in 2011. The 2011 event was a record year for the organisers with 2,200 exhibitors and around 29,920 attendees.

“We experienced a phenomenal response to the 2011 events and this has influenced our decision to return to Messe Frankfurt in 2013,” said UBM Live Pharma Portfolio Director Greg Kerwin, in a statement. “Frankfurt has traditionally been one of the most popular venues in the events’ 22 year history, not only as a result of it being located in one of Europe’s largest pharmaceutical hubs, but due to its international accessibility, quality and availability of accommodation, and the high standards of service offered by the venue.”
