Chem-Academy

What Chem-Academy does

Chem-Academy, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany, is a B2B event-management company specializing in professional conferences and seminars for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The company operates as a brand within the b2b-events.net parent network and serves roughly 10 employees. It organizes recurring flagship events on EU regulatory topics including Good Distribution Practice (GDP), pharmacovigilance, endocrine disruptors, regulatory toxicology, and chemical regulations (REACH, CLP/GHS, biocides). Target audiences include manufacturers, traders, downstream users, and service providers in the chemical and pharmaceutical value chain, with speaker lineups drawn from regulators, industry practitioners, and academic institutions.

Chem-Academy's core product is a hybrid event format delivered across German venues (primarily Cologne and Berlin) and online via the Cisco Webex platform, allowing both in-person and remote attendance. Auxiliary offerings include post-event PDF presentation downloads (EUR 350-400 per event archive), graphic recording services for visual documentation of conferences, and a topic-segmented newsletter. Pricing for live event attendance ranges from EUR 1,595 (early bird online) to EUR 1,995 (in-person) per delegate, with group discounts available. Payment processing is handled through Saferpay.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: per-event delegate registration fees, sponsorship packages that bundle branding, speaking slots, exhibition space, and networking access, and a smaller secondary stream from presentation archive sales. Marketing is conducted through the company website, an email newsletter, LinkedIn and XING social presence, and press relations. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding, and does not publish financial results. Geographic scope is concentrated in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with online attendance extending reach across Europe.

Direct peers

• Worldwide Business Research (WBR): B2B conference organizer with multiple pharma, chemicals, and regulatory-focused event series serving enterprise audiences. Comparable in niche regulated-industry event production.
• DIA (Drug Information Association): Global nonprofit member organization running life sciences conferences on drug development, regulatory affairs, and pharmacovigilance. Directly comparable in regulatory/pharma vertical focus, though at much larger international scale.
• Concept Heidelberg: Germany-based organizer of pharmaceutical and chemical industry conferences covering GMP, quality assurance, and regulatory topics. Closest direct competitor with near-identical target audience (Qualified Persons, QA/RA professionals) and event format.
• Marcus Evans: Global events company running pharma, life sciences, and chemicals conferences. Competes for the same regulated-industry attendee pool through premium-priced specialist events.
• ExL Events: Organizer of life sciences and pharma conferences with strong focus on clinical, commercial, and regulatory operations. Overlaps with Chem-Academy's audience of pharma operations and compliance professionals.
• Reuters Events Pharma: Pharma-focused event series from Reuters Events covering drug development, commercial, and regulatory themes. Comparable in audience (pharma executives and specialists) and content (regulatory + operational).
• Hanson Wade: Specialist organizer of life sciences and pharma conferences, often focused on drug development, clinical, and regulatory themes. Competes in the same niche audience of pharma regulatory and operations professionals.

Broad incumbents

• Informa Markets Life Sciences: The events arm of Informa, producing CPHI, ICSE, and other large pharma/healthcare trade shows worldwide. A much broader incumbent whose pharma shows overlap with Chem-Academy's pharma events portfolio.
• CPHI Worldwide: Flagship pharma ingredients and manufacturing trade show run by Informa. A much larger incumbent in the same pharma industry events category, providing scale competition Chem-Academy cannot match.

Regional players

• CPhI Japan / regional CPhI events: Regional pharma events under the CPhI brand serving Asian and other non-DACH markets. Comparable pharma-audience events but operating in geographies outside Chem-Academy's core footprint.
