who CAREs? me!
Thank you for visiting ALTENPFLEGE 2026, the meeting place where the future of care takes shape.
Three intensive days, key questions for the future and a high level of professional exchange: ALTENPFLEGE 2026 has once again established itself as the leading meeting place for the care sector in the German-speaking world. From 21 to 23 April 2026, the leading trade fair in Essen, under the patronage of Federal Health Minister Nina Warken, brought together 18,000 trade visitors and 500 exhibitors from 16 countries across more than 14,500 square metres of exhibition space – with a clear focus on guidance, practical relevance and sustainability.
The next edition of the leading trade fair will take place from 20 to 22 April 2027 in Nuremberg under a new name: care:xpo.
