NASP’s annual event is known throughout the healthcare industry for providing comprehensive information regarding all aspects of specialty pharmacy, including the evolution of the market, impact of specialty pharmacy on patients, and national legislative and regulatory policy.
Last year’s event broke the organization’s all-time attendance record, attracting more than 1,400 registered attendees. With the growth of the association membership combined with the momentum in the specialty pharmacy industry overall, NASP’s leadership believes this year’ s Annual Meeting & Expo will draw an even bigger crowd.
“We’re featuring all the activities our attendees have grown to love and expect, but additionally we are featuring some riveting keynote speakers, exciting, new Texas-themed networking events, a 70-thousand-foot Exhibit Hall to house our most elaborate Expo to date and are introducing new ways to facilitate business conversations in the exhibit hall that we know our sponsors and exhibitors will appreciate. The Gaylord Texan is a beautiful resort located on the shores of Lake Grapevine in suburban Dallas, with abundant facilities for client events, team meetings and relaxing with colleagues. Simply put – it will be our biggest and best meeting to date,” said Sheila Arquette, president and CEO, NASP.
The four-day event features presentations from top industry thought-leaders, in addition to nationally recognized keynote speakers, including Joan Lunden, patient advocate and former host of ABC’s Good Morning America and Mark Schulman, renowned rock musician and motivational speaker, among others.
Education is a cornerstone of the organization’s mission and each year, expert faculty provide comprehensive information and insights on the clinical, operational, regulatory, and patient experience aspects of specialty pharmacy. Conference attendees can choose from 40+ accredited educational sessions, including enough CPE credits to satisfy most state annual pharmacist licensure requirements. Legal, nurse, and pharmacy technician CEs are also offered.
On September 18, attendees may choose from among six specialty pharmacy workshops, including Specialty Pharmacy Law, Certified Specialty Pharmacist Exam Preparation Course, Hospital/Health System Specialty Pharmacy, Technology, Home Infusion, and Accreditation.
