Opening Reception for Attendees:

    • Held on Monday, August 17 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm in SkyView Rooms 5/6 on the 26th floor, with a view of the Las Vegas Strip and the famous Sphere attraction. The 26th floor is accessed from the sleeping room elevator banks.
    • Socialize with your colleagues and enjoy food, drinks, and prize giveaways. Arrive early to enjoy the spread and allow extra time to meet and network with your fellow buyer colleagues.
    • Co-sponsored by NPPA and a vendor-exhibitor TBD. 

Educational Program: ACPE-accredited CE lectures start Tuesday, August 18 approx. 8:20am and end Thursday, August 20 approx. 1:30pm. All lectures will be held in the Platinum Grand Ballroom, accessed from the Grand Salon area when you first walk in from the hotel convention room hallway.

Meals: All meals will be provided in the Gold Ballroom, the next room over from where the lectures are held. Breakfasts start approx. 7:15am on Tuesday & Wednesday and approx. 8:30am on Thursday. Lunches start around noon on all 3 days.

Pharm-to-Table: Exhibitor Lunch with Attendees. Exhibitor reps may now join attendees during their provided lunch meal periods. Exhibitors greatly help support the conference with generous funding contributions and sponsorships. Over the past few years, they have asked for more time to socialize with the pharmacy attendees, so NPPA has decided to open this up as an optional enhancement for exhibitors. We are excited about this offering and hope it works for everyone.

Vendor-Exhibit Hall: Held on Tuesday, August 18 and Wednesday, August 19 for approx. 2.5 to 3 hours each day. Located in the Event Center at the other end of the Grand Salon & Ballrooms. Snacks will be provided by NPPA, and prizes will be given away by exhibitors as well as NPPA.

340B University: Offered as an optional add-on event, held on Monday, August 17 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—also one of NPPA’s vendor-exhibitors, held in the hotel’s Gold Ballroom.
