The 14th Annual NPPA Conference is well into the planning stage. We will be returning to the MGM Grand Hotel & Conference Center in Las Vegas this August 9-12. Sponsors are lining up to support the meeting and literature is being sent out to hospitals offering Supportive GPO-participating facility-members a discount off their registration.

What we need now are presenters! If you are interested in speaking at this upcoming Conference, or know of someone who would be interested in speaking, please contact Mike Thomas and Francine Morgano by email and we'll send you a Speaker (or Panelist) Request Form: Mike@PharmacyPurchasing.com; Francine@PharmacyPurchasing.com.

We are also looking for Buyers to contribute to our Buyer Issues panel lectures. The Buyer Issues panel consists of each panelist contributing a short, approximate 15-minute presentation at the Conference. You don’t have to be a professional presenter, and if you need suggestions on what topics might be relevant, we will be happy to provide assistance.

All speakers receive some compensation for their contribution to the Conference, but it is the experience of sharing your expertise and knowledge that is the most rewarding.

Many have asked in feedback that we have more of their Buyer colleagues as speakers.

Help us plan the direction of the Pharmacy Purchasing Profession and the classes you need to expand your knowledge in this important field and refresh your enthusiasm for your job!
