“The focus of the meeting this year is inspiration,” said Lauren Angelo, PharmD, MBA, associate dean of academic affairs and associate professor of pharmacy practice at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Sciences. “With so many changes in healthcare and pharmacy lately, we could all use a little inspiration. Many of the education sessions will help take our profession to the next level. These range from digital health, new technologies, and clinical updates to leadership and advocacy. The awards and recognition of our pharmacy superstars will also inspire us to continue to advance patient care. I look forward to being inspired.”
This year’s meeting includes tons of education and business sessions for pharmacists, staff and students alike. The meeting will also feature opportunities for continuing professional education credits and other types of APhA education and training activities. Keynote speakers at this year’s meeting include Ben Nemtin, author of What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?, Travis Mills, author of Tough As They Come, and Jade Simmons, a transformational speaker and world-class concert artist.
“One of the things I most look forward to every year at the APhA Annual Meeting is what I’d call the ‘Little Moments,’” said Mark Garofoli, PharmD, MBA, BCGP, CPE, CTTS, clinical assistant professor and director of experiential learning at West Virginia University School of Pharmacy. “The big stages, workshops, exhibit hall, and receptions are always well worth the journey, but the magic is in the moments in between those scheduled events. Whether passing in a hallway or elevator, or ending up at the same restaurant or bar, someone you haven’t seen in years will be there, everywhere, because this is where it all happens.”
The Drug Topics team will be onsite at the meeting providing coverage of all the most important happenings. Be sure to follow along here.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
