Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Benito Juárez International Airport
The main airport for international arrivals into Mexico City and the default choice for delegates staying in Centro, Reforma or Polanco. Use authorised taxi counters inside the terminal or app-based ride-hail from the designated pickup zone; metro Line 5 serves Terminal 1 for daytime budget transfers
TBA

Closest airport to the central districts; transfer time varies heavily with traffic - confirm before booking a tight arrival
by car
Felipe Ángeles International Airport
Opened to relieve MEX and used by a growing number of international carriers. Check your airline's arrival airport carefully before booking a hotel, and arrange a transfer in advance because ground transport options around the airport are more limited than at MEX

by car
Toluca International Airport
Mostly used by domestic and some international carriers, with fewer services than MEX. If a cheaper fare routes you through TLC, price the ground transfer into Mexico City before booking, because the distance and tolls change the total cost

Weather
Mexico City in early March sits in the dry season, with the rainy afternoons of summer still months away. Expect bright, warm days around 23-26 C, sharply cooler nights around 8-11 C, and low rainfall in the days around 1-2 March 2027. The city sits at roughly 2,240 m, so the sun is strong even when the air is mild: sunscreen, a hat and water matter more than an umbrella. Meeting rooms and evening restaurants are often air conditioned, so pack a light jacket or overshirt for indoor sessions. This is a climatological band for planning, not a forecast - check the five-day outlook in the week before travel.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Altitude and pace
Mexico City sits at roughly 2,240 m. Most visitors feel fine, but the first day can bring headaches and breathlessness on stairs, so schedule lighter activity on arrival day, drink water through the event and take it easy with alcohol the first evening. Hotels and venues are used to international delegates and will advise on altitude if asked.
Business language and greetings
Spanish is the working language of Mexican pharmaceutical companies, and English is common but not universal in commercial meetings. Open with a handshake and a formal greeting (Buenos dias, followed by titles where known), keep small talk brief but warm, and avoid launching straight into pricing before introductions are done. A Spanish-speaking colleague or interpreter is worth arranging if your counterparties are local.
Meal rhythm and meeting hours
The Mexican working day often runs later than in northern Europe or the US, with a substantial lunch in the early afternoon and business dinners that start around 20:00 or later. Build buffer time into your agenda rather than stacking meetings back to back, and confirm in writing whether a meeting is at the venue, a hotel lobby or a restaurant, because venue changes are common.
Money, tipping and taxis
The currency is the Mexican peso (MXN). Cards are widely accepted in hotels and business districts, but carry pesos for taxis, tips and small purchases. Tipping is customary in restaurants and for hotel staff. Use authorised taxi counters or app-based ride-hail rather than hailing unlicensed cabs, and agree or confirm the fare in the app before departure.
Safety and local transport
Mexico City's central business districts are busy and generally straightforward for delegates during the day, but standard big-city precautions apply: keep phones and laptops out of sight on crowded metro carriages, use ride-hail at night, and take the hotel's recommended route rather than an unfamiliar shortcut. The metro and Metrobús are cheap and fast in daylight; traffic is heavy at peak hours, so leave extra time for airport transfers.
Documents and follow-up etiquette
Mexican counterparts expect a formal written follow-up after a meeting, ideally within a day or two, referencing what was discussed and stating the proposed next step. Send documents in Spanish or with a Spanish summary where you can, and confirm commercial terms in writing before committing to regulatory timelines, since COFEPRIS registration effort is usually assessed locally.

Public transit: Mexico City's metro and Metrobús cover the main hotel and business districts; captured guides recommend a rechargeable transit card, and airport-to-centre bus or shared transfers run from MEX terminals.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Hotel Marquis Reforma; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027
Temperature: Daytime highs typically around 23-26 C (73-79 F) in early March, with nights dropping to roughly 8-11 C (46-52 F). Mexico City is mild by day and genuinely cold after sunset, so plan layers rather than a single coat.
Seasonality: Early March is part of Mexico City's dry season, with rain uncommon around 1-2 March and low humidity compared with the summer months. The main environmental factors are intense high-altitude sun and cool evenings rather than rain, so pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a light jacket instead of an umbrella. Confirm the current forecast in the week before travel.
Packing: March is high-altitude dry-season weather in Mexico City; pack layers for cool mornings and warm afternoons, sunscreen and a light rain layer. Air-quality forecasts at capture time were moderate (US AQI around 45), so sensitive travellers should check local advisories.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at BePharma usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-14 days - Confirm your registration tier on bepharma.org and check whether your invoice needs an RFC tax number for the 16% IVA charge to be deductible.
T-14 days - Ask the organiser for the partnering platform or delegate list and shortlist 8-12 Mexican manufacturers, distributors or suppliers you want bilateral meetings with.
T-13 days - Verify passport validity for the full trip and, if your nationality requires a Mexican visa, secure a consulate appointment now rather than after flights are booked.
T-12 days - Book a refundable hotel in the Centro, Reforma or La Raza area once the venue address is confirmed on the organiser site.
T-11 days - Compare flights into MEX against NLU and TLC; favour a morning arrival on 28 February or 1 March so a delay does not cost you the opening agenda slots.
T-10 days - Prepare a two-page company profile, product list and the specific licensing, supply or distribution asks you will table in each meeting.
T-9 days - Assemble regulatory documents: GMP certificates, site inspection history, dossier summary and any COFEPRIS correspondence you can share.
T-8 days - Email your shortlisted counterparties before the event, because pre-booked agendas fill first and open slots are hard to obtain on site.
T-7 days - Arrange travel insurance and check whether your policy covers business travel and the altitude of Mexico City (roughly 2,240 m).
T-5 days - Download the metro and ride-hail apps you intend to use and set up a payment card that works in Mexico; notify your bank of travel dates.
T-4 days - Print or download the agenda, venue address and organiser contact details, and save them offline for arrival.
T-3 days - Check the Mexico City forecast and pack layers for 23-26 C afternoons and 8-11 C nights, plus sunscreen for the high-altitude sun.
T-2 days - Confirm meeting times with your counterparties and reconfirm the venue entrance and badge collection process with the organiser.
T-1 day - Exchange pesos or plan an ATM withdrawal at the airport, charge devices, and review your priority meetings so you can go straight to your first slot.
