ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The National Community Pharmacists Association has opened registration for its 2026 Annual Convention and Pre-Convention Growth and Profitability Programs, scheduled for Oct. 1-6 in Kansas City, Mo.
The convention will take place Oct. 3-6, with pre-convention educational and business programs scheduled for Oct. 1-2. Organizers said additional details on programming and speakers will be released in the coming months.
“Today’s independent pharmacies are on our community’s front lines as providers, advocates, innovators, and leaders,” said Kristen Riddle, president of NCPA and a pharmacist from Greenbrier, Ark. “At the NCPA Annual Convention, we’ll be focusing on answering ‘how-to’ questions for independent pharmacy owners like how to take their operations and patient care to the next level in the context of today’s landscape. So show up to level up!”
Riddle said the convention will provide independent pharmacy owners with practical strategies to strengthen operations, improve patient care, and navigate the challenges facing community pharmacies.
NCPA is offering an early-bird registration discount of up to $100 for attendees who register for the convention or pre-convention programs by July 12.
Founded in 1898, NCPA represents more than 18,900 independent community pharmacies nationwide, employing more than 235,000 people. The association advocates for community pharmacists and promotes the role of independent pharmacies as accessible healthcare providers in local communities.
