Cultural notes

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

Business Etiquette and Punctuality

Meetings start on time and are conducted formally; use the polite 'Sie' form and a firm handshake until a German-speaking counterpart offers first names. Bring printed materials and exchange business cards at the start of a conversation.

Tipping and Payment

Service charges are already included in restaurant bills; rounding up or adding 5-10% is normal for good service. Card payments are widely accepted in Munich, but some beer gardens and smaller bakeries still prefer cash, so carry a little EUR.

Local Customs and Quiet Hours

A friendly 'Grüß Gott' is the standard Bavarian greeting. Shops close on Sundays, and statutory quiet hours apply from 22:00 to 07:00, so keep hotel and evening conversations indoors after that time.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Wednesday 2 June 2027 (Day 1)

Opening day carries the full CosmeticBusiness Forum programme, press activity and the highest concentration of senior executives from cosmetics and personal-care brands, so a single-day trip captures both the conference content and the widest supplier coverage; Day 2 remains strongest for in-depth, one-to-one contract manufacturing talks.

Check passport validity and Schengen visa needs — Confirm at least six months passport validity and apply via the German mission or a VFS centre if your nationality requires a Schengen visa.

Register as a trade visitor and secure a ticket — Trade visitor registration and the CosmeticBusiness ticket shop open in Spring 2027; exhibitors can also invite visitors with a free ticket.

Book flights to Munich — Fly into Munich Airport (MUC), about 30-40 minutes from the MOC Event Center.

Reserve a hotel near the MOC — Look at Munich-Schwabing and Freimann properties within 1-2 km of the venue for 1-3 June 2027.

Download the show programme — Review the CosmeticBusiness programme, including the Sustainability Tour and featured speaker sessions.

Shortlist exhibitors and request meetings — Target ingredient, packaging and contract manufacturing suppliers and pre-book on-stand appointments.

Plan arrival and parking at the MOC — MOC Event Center Munich, Lilienthalallee 40, 80939 Munich; pre-check U-Bahn U6 and S-Bahn routes from Hauptbahnhof.

Prepare business documents — Organise invitation letters, product briefs and specification documents for supplier discussions.

Pack for Munich in June — Take layers, a rain jacket and comfortable walking shoes; June is Munich's wettest month.

Arrange mobile connectivity — Set up a Germany eSIM or roaming plan so mobile data is reliable during show days.

Arrive and collect your badge on Day 1 — Arrive early on 2 June 2027 for badge collection, security screening and venue orientation.

Confirm return travel and follow-ups — Allow time for follow-up meetings after the show closes on 3 June 2027 and reconfirm return flights.
