| The leading exhibition for the care sector
ALTENPFLEGE is the leading trade fair for nursing and care in the German-speaking region and has been held annually since its inception in 1990. Its name, meaning “elderly care”, reflects the comprehensive thematic focus of the event. It is organized by Vincentz Network GmbH & Co. KG in cooperation with NürnbergMesse GmbH. A distinctive feature of the fair is its rotating location: ALTENPFLEGE alternates each year between the exhibition centers in Essen and Nuremberg, two key economic and innovation hubs in Germany.
Typically held in spring, the fair brings together professionals from across the nursing and care sector. It is aimed at caregivers, nursing service managers, facility directors, decision-makers in care institutions, representatives of the healthcare industry, and trainees. As the most important platform for innovation in elderly care, ALTENPFLEGE showcases a wide range of products and services designed to facilitate the daily work of caregivers and enhance the quality of life for people in need of care. Topics include nursing aids, digital solutions, sustainable catering concepts, and innovative spatial designs for care facilities.
The event focuses on current trends and challenges in the sector. Key areas of interest include Nursing & Therapy, Career & Education, Catering & Housekeeping, IT & Management, and Space & Technology. In addition to an extensive exhibition featuring leading companies, ALTENPFLEGE hosts AVENEO – Space for Innovation, a dedicated showcase where around 50 start-ups present forward-thinking products and services.
Another highlight is the accompanying three-day congress, which provides in-depth insights into crucial topics in elderly care and fosters professional exchange. Experts discuss innovative approaches, explore future perspectives for the sector, and develop solutions for the challenges posed by an aging society.
More than just a trade fair, ALTENPFLEGE serves as a central meeting point for the entire industry. It is where new technologies, political developments, and practical solutions come together. Thanks to its alternating locations in Essen and Nuremberg, it maintains direct engagement with key industry players in Germany and across Europe. Both venues offer excellent transport connections and optimal conditions for a successful event. Anyone looking to shape the future of elderly care cannot afford to miss ALTENPFLEGE.
