INTRODUCTION
Dear colleagues and friends,
We are very pleased to announce that in 2015, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) will
organise the FIP annual congress in collaboration with the Bundesvereinigung Deutscher
Apothekerverbände (ABDA) and its German partners.
The congress will take place from 29 September to 3 October 2015 in the Congress Center
Düsseldorf, Germany.
Translating science into practice is a major responsibility of the profession of pharmacy. This must be
done in an ethical, unbiased manner, based firmly on the best available evidence, and used together
with a human touch to communicate effectively with the patient. Competence to practice will
increasingly require education in the ability to evaluate information critically, the reinforcement of
appropriate attitudes, values and communication skills, and appreciation of the importance of interprofessional collaboration. The symposia at this Congress will explore all of these facets of
professional excellence.
With about 21,000 pharmacies and a population of more than 80 million, Germany has a pharmacy
density of one pharmacy per 3,900 inhabitants. In fact, the total number of pharmacies in Germany
has slightly moved down over the last years. In Germany, only pharmacists may operate a pharmacy.
This principle stresses the personal responsibility and liability of self-employed pharmacists in the
industry, service and healthcare sector. In its ruling of 19 May 2009, the European Court of Justice
confirmed that the ban on third-party ownership in Germany is an acceptable and effective tool of
customer protection.
Expopharm is Europe's biggest and most important pharmaceutical trade fair. Five hundred national
and international exhibitors use an exhibition area oñf about 40,000 square metres to contact their
most important partners: pharmacists and stakeholders coming from more than 120 countries.
We hope that Düsseldorf will follow Bangkok Congress 2014 in being the most important meeting
place for our global network of pharmacists. We look forward to seeing you there.

ABOUT FIP DÜSSELDORF 2015
29 September — 3 October, 2015
Following the successful FIP annual congress in Bangkok in 2014, FIP Düsseldorf promises to be the
most significant global event in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in 2015.
The FIP Düsseldorf 2015 congress will consist of three main components:
1. FIP Düsseldorf 2015 Congress
The FIP congress will offer five days of sessions, symposia, workshops, discussions and world class
social events that will bring together over 3,000 international participants from diverse areas of
pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences. The congress will take place at the Congress Centre
Düsseldorf (CCD).
The theme of the congress is: “Better practice - science based, evidence driven”.
2. Expopharm
In 2015, the FIP exhibition will be an integral component of Expopharm, the most important
pharmaceutical trade fair in Europe. With more than 27,000 trade visitors and over 500 exhibitors
from 42 countries in 2013, it will be the most important platform of the year for all decision-makers
in the pharmaceutical market.
The Deutsche Apothekertag (DAT), which takes place at the same time, is the central political event
of the year for German pharmacists. At this main gathering of German pharmacists, representatives
from health care insurance companies and associations, politicians and pharmacists themselves will
set the course for the future of their market.
3. Deans’ Forum and Pharmacy Technicians Symposium
As in previous years, the Deans’ forum and Pharmacy Technicians Symposium will be held before the
congress. The first event, the Deans’ Forum, specifically focuses on education and development
among schools of pharmacy worldwide. The Pharmacy Technicians Symposium focuses on
technicians, two days are dedicated to technicians and their development. If you are interested or
would like to target these groups, please let us know, we are happy to assist you.
FIP AND THE BUNDESVEREINIGUNG DEUTSCHER
APOTHEKERVERBÄNDE (ABDA)
As a member of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), the ABDA is delighted to co-host
the Düsseldorf 2015 congress, in partnership with a wide range of pharmacy organisations in
Germany representing the various areas of the profession.
The ABDA and its 34 member organisations welcome you all to Düsseldorf, the bustling Rhine
metropolis in the heart of Europe. Pharmacists from Germany look forward to meeting their
counterparts from around the world at the FIP congress!
Congress Venue
The Congress Center Düsseldorf (CCD) sets itself apart as an international conference venue ideally
located in Düsseldorf, capital of the state North Rhine-Westphalia and one of Germany's most
important business and scientific hubs. Set on the banks of the Rhine and linked to Messe Düsseldorf
Exhibition Centre, only three kilometres from Germany's third largest airport and five kilometres
from the old town, the CCD with its adjacent exhibition halls 1 and 3 provides a flexible room
concept for up to 15,000 visitors. Around 2,000 events take place each year in the CCD. They include
a large number of major national and international congresses as well as high-profile corporate
events and high-attendance exhibitions. Accommodation is available at more than 20,000 three- to
five-star hotel rooms in Düsseldorf and the surrounding region offer the necessary accommodation.
Audience Profile
The FIP congress is the only truly global event for pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists, and all
partners involved in organising the congress expect to attract over 3,000 international practising
pharmacists and scientists.
The audience of FIP 2015 and associated events will also include significant numbers of pharmacists
from Germany (from community, hospital, industry and academia), pharmacy students and young
pharmacists, as well as leaders from the profession and various sectors across the world.
This brochure describes what you can expect to see at the FIP Düsseldorf 2015 congress in terms of
target audience and promoting your organisation. The figures and information are all obtained from
