TESTIMONIALS

I have yet to attend another pharmacy summit, which has brought together so many like minded people who were looking for answers as to where to go and who to partner up with. The dinner and reception were also fabulous for so many of us to get to know each other. Great Event!

- Brian T., Troy, MI

"A serious conference for pharmacist concerned about constantly

improving our industry. - Gabriella S., Chattanooga, TN

"Congratulations to APPA on your convention! Your convention had all the elements of success. The turnout was excellent and the enthusiasm of the attendees was evident. As a vendor I met

many new pharmacy owners and got to see many of my customers I currently do business with. It was also great to see many old friends I have known over the years in the pharmaceutical industry."

"Each independent pharmacy should represent themselves at

conventions. Its a very affordable way to get good info & meet company people. Trade show always helps us get to know our company reps, face-to-face."

Dinorah B., Newark, NJ

Hats off to APPA for reminding us that independent pharmacy owners are important, too. We dont always need the bigger is better approach to service our customers well.

Amir W., Orlando, FL

Absolutely the BEST convention I have been to in the last 5

years. - Jeffery C., Tampa, FL

One of the best and most focused events that I have been to.

Provided real opportunities to meet and network with

professionals in the industry
