Plan your experience
The program is built around the decisions you're actually trying to make — not a predetermined path. Every session, every track, every conversation is yours to choose. Here's what to expect.
Session tracks
All 5 tracks are open to every attendee. Most leaders move across tracks over the three days, following the decisions they're trying to make rather than staying in one functional lane.
Pharmacy Leadership, Strategy + Financial Growth
Pharmacy Workforce, 340B, AI + More
Pharmacy Operations, Supply Chain + Population Health
Patient Safety, Specialty Pharmacy + Drug Policy
Drug Cost, Supply Chain + High-Cost Therapies
Program
Each day is anchored by key conversations, with time between sessions for the discussions that shape how ideas are applied. Some of the most valuable moments happen outside the session room, in the exhibit hall, over lunch, and between meetings.
