Expopharm is regarded as Europe’s leading trade fair for the pharmacy market – and since the partial legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany, it has also become indispensable for the cannabis industry. From September 15–17, 2026, the trade fair in Munich will open its doors once again, bringing together pharmacists, wholesalers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and technology providers. For importers, producers, and service providers in the cannabis sector, this date is firmly marked in the calendar: here they meet their core target audience – the pharmacies that dispense medicinal cannabis to patients every day.
What to expect
Expopharm 2026 combines a large-scale exhibition with an extensive supporting program. In addition to traditional trade fair booths, there are expert lectures, a congress featuring current industry topics, practical workshops, and guided tours through the halls. The program covers traditional pharmacy topics such as e-prescriptions, compounding, and retail concepts – but also new therapeutic options and cannabinoid-based medicines are in focus.
The target audience includes pharmacists, pharmacy staff members, wholesalers, and those interested in pharmacy, medical technology, and the healthcare industry. For cannabis companies, the trade fair is an opportunity to:
- Approach pharmacies directly and build business relationships
- Explain logistics processes and compliance standards
- Present training offerings for pharmacy staff
- Exchange information on current market trends and regulations
- Get to know competitors and new market players
Location and travel
Expopharm takes place at Messe München, one of Europe’s largest exhibition grounds. The address is Messegelände, 81823 Munich. The trade fair is very easily accessible by public transport: the U6 line runs directly to “Messestadt West” or “Messestadt Ost” station, depending on which halls are relevant. Those arriving by car will find parking on the grounds, but should arrive early or inform themselves in advance, as capacity is high during major trade fairs.
Munich is also very well connected by rail – the main train station is about 15 minutes away. There are plenty of hotels and accommodations near the trade fair and in the city center.
Tickets and prices
Detailed information on ticket categories, admission prices, and possible early-bird discounts can be found on the official Expopharm website. Typically, the trade fair offers day tickets and multi-day passes. Professional visitors from the pharmacy and pharmaceutical industry often receive discounted admission prices – proof of professional status may be required. Those who are already exhibitors or plan to book a booth should contact the organizer Avoxa directly.
Why this event?
Expopharm 2026 is relevant for cannabis professionals because it is the central place to meet pharmacies – the final dispensing points for medically prescribed cannabis. Since medicinal cannabis became legally available in German pharmacies, the industry has become more professional. Pharmacies need reliable suppliers, training for their staff, and clear information on varieties, dosage, and storage. At Expopharm, you can build these relationships, establish trust, and demonstrate your expertise – not through marketing, but through direct exchange with professionals.
For newcomers to the market, the trade fair is also valuable for understanding the landscape: Who are the established players? What trends are emerging? How is compliance practiced? Expopharm provides answers to these questions in concentrated form.
