NPPA has been planning and hosting annual conferences since 1997! No other national pharmacy organization recognizes the importance of purchasing within the pharmacy profession. Join NPPA and your fellow Pharmacy Purchasing professionals from across the country for the 29th Annual 2026 NPPA Conference from November 16-19, at the Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino in Nevada. The event starts with an Opening Reception on Monday night, November 16 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. The educational program begins Tuesday, November 17 at 8:30am (breakfast starts at 7:30am) and ends Thursday, November 19 at approximately 2:00pm. Network and learn the latest trends in Pharmacy Purchasing! All sessions highlight Pharmacy Purchasing topics and include 8-12 hours of ACPE-accredited CE for Technicians and Pharmacists. Share experiences with your fellow Pharmacy Buyers and build relationships with your Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) representatives as well as exhibiting vendor companies that serve hospitals and health systems. One of the best ways to share your experiences is to become a speaker. We will ask if you are interested in speaking as you complete this registration. 340B University is an optional event on Monday, November 16 from 8:00am to 4:00pm (before NPPA's Opening Reception that starts at 4:30pm). The 340B University is sponsored and hosted by the HRSA 340B Prime Vendor Program (PVP) managed by Apexus, one of NPPA's 2026 vendor-exhibitors.

This normally includes the required 1 hour of Pharmacy Law and occasionally the Medication/Patient Safety CE requirement.
