ZP Europe takes place from 15 to 17 September 2026 at Koelnmesse in Cologne.

Visitors can expect more than 700 sessions over three days, practical workshops and interactive formats, plus more than 600 exhibitors, partners and sponsors from the HR sector.

ZP Europe is aimed at specialists and managers from HR, recruiting, training, corporate development, occupational medicine, corporate management and related areas.

Important information is available in the trade fair magazine on site, and both the hall plan and programme are available online on the website; shortly before the event, information is also available via the ZP app.

A one-day ticket costs EUR 95 and a multi-day ticket costs EUR 150; tickets can be bought online through the ticket shop.

There are currently no special discounts for students or groups; current prices and categories are listed in the ticket shop.

It is generally possible to buy tickets on site, but buying online in advance is recommended to avoid waiting times.

Köln Messe/Deutz station is a few minutes' walk from the exhibition centre and is served by S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains, trams and bus lines.

The organiser recommends the Koelnmesse car parks and P22; access is signposted and supported by the trade fair's car park guidance system.
