Expopharm 2026
Dates taking place: 15th – 17th September 2026
Location: Munich, Germany
There are pharmaceutical trade events in Europe. There are significant ones. And then there is Expopharm — three days where the German pharmacy sector and the supply chain that serves it come together in the most focused retail pharmacy gathering in the European calendar.
Germany is Europe's largest pharmaceutical market. The German Apotheke is one of the most trusted institutions in German society. Expopharm is their event — the trade fair built for the pharmacy profession and the industry that supplies it. It has been doing this job well for long enough to have stopped needing to explain itself.
Expopharm 2026 runs from the 15th to the 17th of September. Three days. The full pharmacy supply chain — prescription medicines, OTC products, medical devices, nutraceuticals, dispensing technology and the services that German pharmacies need to serve their patients and run their businesses. Munich in September providing the setting.
The Exhibition. The German Pharmacy in One Place.
The Expopharm floor brings together the manufacturers, distributors, OTC companies, technology providers and service suppliers that the German pharmacy sector depends on. Prescription medicines alongside consumer healthcare. Dispensing automation alongside cosmetics and dermocosmetics. The full breadth of what a German Apotheke stocks and the full range of companies that supply it.
German pharmacists attend with serious professional intent. The product knowledge. The procurement decisions. The understanding of what is new in the supply chain they serve.

The Conference. The CPD That the Profession Needs.
The continuing professional development programme runs alongside the floor. Clinical updates. Regulatory changes. Pharmacy management content. The digital health developments changing what pharmacy services look like and what patients expect from them.
Three days of professional development alongside three days of exhibition. Both worth attending. The German pharmacy profession has been doing both here for years.
Munich in September
The Bavarian summer still present. The beer gardens open. The Englischer Garten at its September best. The old town — the Marienplatz, the Viktualienmarkt, the Hofbräuhaus — doing what Munich's old town does regardless of the season, which is be excellent.
September puts Expopharm in the weeks before Oktoberfest. The city has a particular energy in September that the festival generates before it arrives. The pretzel and the schnitzel and the Bavarian beer that the season makes feel entirely appropriate at any point in the day.
The Alps visible from the city on a clear September afternoon. Accessible by train for anyone who wants the Bavarian landscape that Munich promises. September is the right month for both the city and the mountains.
For DMCs and Incentive Planners: Munich in September With a Reason
For travel professionals, Expopharm 2026 is the German pharmacy event that combines three days of the most focused retail pharmacy content in the European calendar with Munich in September — the city in its finest season before Oktoberfest takes over.
The pharmacy and pharmaceutical clients who need to be at Expopharm need the logistics handled well. The clients who have never been to Munich in September need to be told it is excellent. Both statements are reliably true.
Build the programme around the three days — the exhibition, the CPD, the meetings — and let Munich fill everything else. The beer gardens. The old town. The Alps on the clear days. Munich in September does not require much assistance from the itinerary.
The German pharmacy sector will be in Munich from the 15th to the 17th of September. Munich will be Munich around it.
Both reliable. Both worth the trip.
