Where Future Care Takes Center Stage
Thank you for visiting ALTENPFLEGE 2026 — the premier hub where the future of care is envisioned and brought to life.
Spanning three dynamic days filled with pivotal discussions and rich professional dialogue, this leading trade fair took place from 21 to 23 April 2026, in Essen. It proudly hosted 18,000 trade visitors and 500 exhibitors from 16 countries, all within an expansive 14,500 square metres of exhibition space. The event was defined by its clear focus on guidance, practicality, and sustainability.
The next chapter of this renowned event will unfold under a new name: care:xpo. Mark your calendars for 20 to 22 April 2027, as the industry reconvenes in Nuremberg to shape the future of care once again.
