Washington, DC, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP), a nonprofit organization representing all specialty pharmacy industry stakeholders, is pleased to announce the full agenda for the NASP 2024 Annual Meeting & Expo. The conference will take place October 6 - 9, 2024 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.    

NASP’s annual event is known throughout the healthcare industry for providing comprehensive information regarding all aspects of specialty pharmacy, including the evolution of the market, impact of specialty pharmacy on patients, and national legislative and regulatory policy. 

Last year’s event broke the organization’s all-time attendance record, attracting more than 1,600 registered attendees. With the growth of the association membership combined with the momentum in the specialty pharmacy industry overall, NASP’s leadership believes this year’s Annual Meeting & Expo will draw an even bigger crowd. 

“We’re featuring all the activities our attendees have grown to love and expect, including riveting keynote speakers, new Nashville-themed networking events, and an Exhibit Hall to facilitate business conversations that we know our sponsors and exhibitors will appreciate. The Gaylord Opryland is located in the heart of Music City, with stunning facilities for client events, team meetings and relaxing with colleagues. Simply put – it will be our best meeting to date,” said Sheila M. Arquette, RPH, President & CEO, NASP.

Education is a cornerstone of the organization’s mission and each year, expert faculty provide comprehensive information and insights on the clinical, operational, regulatory, and patient experience aspects of specialty pharmacy. Conference attendees can choose from 40+ accredited educational sessions, including enough CPE credits to satisfy most state annual pharmacist licensure requirements.
