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 two days, following the decisions they're trying to make rather than staying in one functional lane.
Track A: Keynotes and Chief Pharmacy Officers
Track B: Specialty Pharmacy and Pharmacy Outside the Hospital
Track C: 340B, Supply Chain and Access
Track D: ROI and Finances
Track E: Workforce and Leadership
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.
