Things are changing fast for independent pharmacies, with new business tools, government initiatives, and health care products emerging every day. At this year’s NCPA Annual Convention, Oct. 3-6 in Kansas City, Mo., you’ll be given ample access to education sessions, hallway conversations, and exhibitors focused on the “how to” of all of it. Just some of the topics we’ll cover: The CMS ACCESS outcomes-based care model, artificial intelligence implementation, peptides, navigating PBM audits, compounding best practices, team management, and front-end strategies. You’ll come with the “what,” and leave with the “how.”
Throughout #NCPA2026, you will get direct access to industry experts who can help answer your burning questions through one-on-one conversations at our new “How-To Booths” along Main Street in the Expo Hall. We’ll feature voices who can share advice on several practical challenges and exciting opportunities, including how to accept Medicare Advantage OTC cards, comply with DSCSA, host a congressional visit, and get maximum ROI on your med sync program, among other subjects.
P.S.: If you’re planning to participate in this year’s Community Pharmacy Residency and Fellowship Showcase or Innovation in Community Practice Poster Symposium, both occurring Oct. 4 during the convention, make sure you register your interest before the Aug. 13 deadline. Reserve your space for the showcase here, and apply for the poster symposium here.
