Pharmapack Europe 2026, Paris, France
Overview
Pharmapack Europe 2026 is the continent’s leading hub for pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery systems, celebrating nearly three decades of industry innovation. Taking place at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the event bridges the gap between high-level drug development and final delivery to the patient.

FAQ's
Are there any complimentary tickets available for regular trade visitors?
While the majority of tickets are paid, certain exhibitors like Aptar Pharma occasionally offer a limited number of "Free Access Passes" to their partners on a first-come, first-served basis. You should check with your primary suppliers or the official event newsletter for promo codes that may waive the standard entry fee. However, these complimentary passes typically cover basic exhibition access and may not include the specialized conference sessions or VIP lounge benefits.
What is the "Leader Pass" and how does it differ from a Standard ticket?
The Leader Pass is designed for high-level executives who need to maximize their efficiency, providing 8:30 AM "Super Early" entry before the general crowd at 10:00 AM. It includes access to a dedicated fast-track entrance and the Leaders Lounge, which offers quiet workspaces and complimentary refreshments throughout the day. Standard ticket holders have access to the full exhibition and content sessions but do not receive the priority entry or lounge privileges associated with the premium tiers.
How does the lead-scanning system work for networking at the event?
Every attendee badge is equipped with a digital scanning code that can be read by exhibitors through the official event app to instantly exchange contact information. This system eliminates the need for paper business cards and allows you to download a full list of your connections after the event for easy follow-up. Premium pass holders often get additional features within the app, such as access to the full attendee list for pre-event meeting requests.
Is there a specific dress code required for the exhibition and evening sessions?
The dress code for Pharmapack Europe is strictly business or business casual, as it is a professional trade-only environment frequented by international executives. Many attendees choose to wear comfortable shoes due to the extensive walking required across Hall 4 and the surrounding venue grounds. If you are attending the Wine Tasting or the Networking Dinner, the same professional attire is appropriate, though the atmosphere is slightly more relaxed.
Can I attend the Pharmapack Awards without a VIP ticket?
The Pharmapack Awards ceremony is generally open to all registered attendees and takes place on the exhibition floor within one of the dedicated content theaters. It is a high-visibility event where the winners in categories like "Eco-Design" and "Patient-Centricity" are announced to the public. While seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, arriving early is recommended as the ceremony attracts a large audience interested in the year's top innovations.
