Looking to expand? Our Multiple Locations Conference is a great starting point

NCPA January 30, 2026

Looking to expand your business and help address shortages of health care services in communities across the country? Jessica Satterfield, PharmD, MBA, will be on hand at this year's Multiple Locations Conference, Feb. 18-21, in Clearwater Beach, Fla., to explain a tool developed in a collaboration between NCPA and the University of Southern California that offers new, practical insights into pharmacy shortage areas that business owners can put to work.

She says: "I'm so excited to talk about the USC-NCPA Pharmacy Access Initiative's recently-made-public mapping tool! It helps current and prospective owners evaluate potential sites for expansion by providing information on pharmacy access over time, details on patient populations and demographics, and local data to help build a service portfolio. I'll walk through a real-world example and show how we can turn these insights into actionable items. Can't wait to see everyone there!"

Of course, there's plenty more on deck at the Multiple Locations Conference. We're bringing you education sessions on an array of topics, including one by John Coster on the latest pharmacy payment models; another by NCPA's senior vice president of policy and pharmacy affairs, Ronna Hauser, on our key legislative and regulatory priorities in 2026; the effects of policy changes on the pharmacy labor market in a session with Deborah Kelly, partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips; and more. The show will also include networking receptions and an expo floor packed with the latest and greatest in technology, services, and products.

The Multiple Locations Conference is designed for current or future owners and managers of two or more locations (or large-volume pharmacies). You can learn more about our event schedule, education programming, and lodging options on our landing page.
