Deutscher Pflegetag, which the organiser bills as Germany's leading nursing congress, is in its 13th edition, held 12 and 13 November 2026 at hub27, Messe Berlin. It brings together nurses, care managers, nursing educators, young nurses and care policy professionals, organised by DPSG Deutscher Pflegetag Servicegesellschaft mbH with the Deutscher Pflegerat e.V., the umbrella body for German nursing associations.
Venue access opens at 07:30 both days. The exhibition floor runs 09:00 to 18:30 on 12 November and 08:30 to 16:15 on 13 November; the Kongresscounter is staffed 07:30 to 19:00 and 07:30 to 16:00.
Six Programmsäulen anchor the schedule, plus the Zukunfts-Gipfel and Care Culture Congress above, the Forum Langzeitpflege on both days in Räume Alpha 5 and Beta 6 on the Pflegeneuordnungsgesetz, heat protection and integrated care, and the Junge Pflege Kongress on 12 November, badge restricted; its Nachwuchs ticket is sold out as of 23 September 2026. The Gründerarena showcases nursing start ups, and DPR member associations meet visitors at booth 130.
Day one closes with the Pflegetagsparty at the HotSpot stage, DJ and food trucks, no separate ticket. Badges print at self service terminals from your registration barcode, a phone screen is fine. A lost badge costs 25 € to replace. Selected sessions stay online to ticket holders for three months. hub27 is described as low barrier and single level. Details: the organiser's FAQ and venue page.
The Reguläres Ticket is a 2 day pass at 195 €, price as of 23 September 2026, covering nearly all sessions both days (except the Junge Pflege Kongress), session recordings, a congress bag, a certificate of attendance, exhibition access, the Pflegetagsparty and the new Zukunfts-Gipfel and Care Culture Congress. The Nachwuchs Ticket, which adds the Junge Pflege Kongress, is sold out as of 23 September 2026. No single day tickets exist.

Book with free cancellation and a flexible stay, as habyt.com offers for Habyt Berlin Waterfront, so a shift plan that changes at short notice does not cost you the room.
Pack for the season: the historical average for 12 to 13 November is 3 to 9°C with rain on roughly 1 day in 5, so bring a warm layer and something waterproof.
Einlass opens at 07:30 both days. With fully equipped kitchens at Habyt Berlin Waterfront, you can make an early coffee before the 5 minute walk to Ostkreuz, with no need to find somewhere open that early.

The café and courtyard give you a quiet hour after the hub27 crowds if you need to catch up on messages.
