What to Expect at PCMA 2018

The PCMA Annual meeting will return to the Westin Kierland in Scottsdale, AZ, on September 24 and 25. The event is tailored for senior executives from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and their affiliated partners, including drug manufacturers. The meeting is designed to improve business strategy and provide unique value to payer, PBM, specialty pharmacy, and pharma and biotech industry executives.

The meeting schedule includes general sessions whose topics are designed to be strategic in nature, and the speakers of the sessions include top thought leaders and decision makers from PBMs, specialty pharmacy, pharma and biotech, and other affiliated industries.

During the meeting, the speakers will discuss pressing issues that impact the health care industry, including pharmaceutical innovation, affordability, access, value, and the importance of collaboration between our industries and other supply chain stakeholders. The issues will be addressed on and off of the stage and the conference coordinators hopes to promote continued industry collaboration.

The PCMA Annual Meeting also offers a unique opportunity for business meetings and networking. The meeting offers evening receptions that will be held both days of the conference and select PBM member companies host networking receptions during breakfast and lunch.
