Around 400 exhibitors from Germany and a number of other countries will be presenting their products and services from 21 to 24 September 2005 at the EXPOPHARM in Munich . With its over 50-year-old tradition the EXPOPHARM has become established as the major pharmaceutical trade fair.

First organised in 1949 by the Pharmacists' Association of Hamburg and entitled "Pharmaceutical Exhibition", with time this highlight event of the sector became Europe 's most important indicator of the situation in the pharmacist and pharmaceutical industries.

In 1952 the newly founded Werbe- und Vertriebsgesellschaft Deutscher Apotheker mbH (WuV) assumed organisational responsibility for the event; from 1956 to 1990 the "Pharmaceutical Exhibition" was staged every two years.

The Deutscher Apothekertag was held at the same time as the trade fair; in the years in which the fair did not take place it was held as the so-called "small" Apothekertag in Berlin . The first unified German Apothekertag was also held in Berlin in 1991. Two years later the "Pharmaceutical Exhibition" was renamed EXPOPHARM and in 1996 was first held in the states of former East Germany in Leipzig .

This year the show was held for the fourth time in Cologne . Munich , the Bavarian capital, is the most frequent host to the EXPOPHARM show; in 2006 there will be the 12. exhibition at the Congress Center Munich. The fair has been staged in Düsseldorf nine times and in Hamburg and Cologne three times each. The German and international pharmacists have also attended the event at Stuttgart, Bremen, Kassel, Hanover, Münster, Karlsruhe and Leipzig.

In addition to the EXPOPHARM the WuV organises the Pharmacon congress for further training in Meran and Davos, the Economy Forum of the German Pharmacists' Association (DAV) as well as numerous other events and congresses.
