Your own Tour de (Paris) France 

Whether you’re flying or taking the train (sustainability points to you), Paris is a city worth exploring even outside of Pharmapack. But with its winding roads, narrow alleys, and historic landmarks, where do you start? 

The Pharmapack Walking Tour takes you through the covered passages of Paris – through worldly Restoration salons, romantic hideaways, and mercantile corridors, this tour offers a glimpse into 19th-century Paris. Discover iconic landmarks and hidden gems as you explore the city of Lights with your fellow Pharmapack colleagues. 

Complementary for all Leadership and Networking Leader ticket holders, registration for all other ticket holders can be made here. 

Wined and Dined 

All that walking has you thirsting for something more. Unwind from your tour of Paris with an exclusive tour of the historic cellars of Chai33 and a curated white-wine tasting. What better way to connect with your industry peers than over the perfect blend of Parisian heritage and grapes!

Sharing (the knowledge) is caring 

As you wander the show floor, you notice the first speakers setting up and getting their slide decks ready for two full days of sharing their insights into the biggest trends in pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery.  

Pharmapack features the Conference Theatre and the Sustainability Theatre directly on the show floor, as well as several Learning Labs and Workshops. You check your CPHI app to determine which sessions peak your interest. Join our Device and Packaging Innovation track for the latest in packaging and drug delivery/device technologies, or the Large Volume Drug Delivery track to discover how the industry is meeting the demands for delivering biologics.  

The Sustainability Theatre will feature speakers and panels on perhaps the most pressing topic for the pharmaceutical packaging sector. As part of our commitment to sustainability within both the pharma and the events industries, we are pleased to continue highlighting the trends and challenges of sustainability in pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery. 

Pharma Off the Record 

For the first time, we will be hosting a closed roundtable session featuring expert speakers from across the pharmaceutical packaging value chain. Additionally, we are inviting select few observers to be privy to the candid discussions on trends most impacting the pharmaceutical packaging sector.

A Run a Day... 

You awake to a brand new day, digesting all the information thrown your way on Day 1. But this is no time to rest! You registered for the Running Tour of Paris through the 15th arrondissement. Get a local’s view of the city while admiring the Hotel des Invalides and the Eiffel Tower along the way, before heading back to the Portes de Versailles by 7:30am after a 7.45km jog.

Approaching Sustainability with the Parenteral Drug Association Workshop 

The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) are featuring an interactive workshop on innovative approaches to sustainable pharmaceutical packaging. You find yourself led through expert-led case studies, hands-on demos, and stimulating discussions on ecodesign and future-ready systems. The morning flies by as you soak up the information presented by industry experts and delve into peer-to-peer conversations on creating a more sustainable industry.

Connecting through Content 

Our Content Connect sessions are back for another round at Pharmapack 2026. You arrive to see that, unlike traditional workshop settings, these sessions bring together industry professionals in a small group setting to foster meaningful dialogue, focused conversations, and knowledge exchange. Your voice is just as important as those around you, so be sure to share your own insights with your peers. 

Towards the Future of Pharma Packaging 

While we are always sad to see the events end, there is still so much learning and connecting to do. You enter the Conference Theatre in time to catch the last few sessions on the Future of Pharma Packaging. With session topics ranging from shifting dynamics in global supply chains to data regulation for packaging manufacturers, our expert speakers are keen to impart more knowledge and insight for you to take home. 

Year-Round Connections 

And with that, Pharmapack 2026 comes to an end. Our 25th anniversary edition of the show has left you with not just exhibitor freebies, but also stimulating conversations with pharma professionals, actionable insights, and a network of colleagues from across the globe. 

But your Pharmapack experience doesn’t have to end here! Along with our suite of global events spanning the Americas to Asia, we also offer various sponsorship and marketing products and packages to keep your business connections running throughout the year. Our digital marketing solutions can keep you connected with right people long after Pharmapack and just in time for your next CPHI experience.
