NPPA Conference Information
The Annual NPPA Conference attracts Pharmacy Purchasing Professionals and GPO Executives from all across the country (even Alaska!); and between 90 to 110 Exhibiting Vendor Companies. In addition, each year, we see an average of 35% purchasing professional attendees who are new to the NPPA Conference.
Since 1997, we have conducted the only national meeting exclusively for the pharmacy purchasing profession, the Annual NPPA Conference, held in Las Vegas each year (usually in August). This conference offers a unique opportunity for Pharmacy Purchasing Professionals in all disciplines and work settings to come together to learn the latest trends in Pharmacy Purchasing. Our only issue is pharmacy purchasing!
