APhA hosts conferences on the national and regional level for student pharmacists throughout the year. Each provides unique opportunities for student pharmacists to network, develop leadership skills, learn about advances in the profession, and discover career opportunities. We encourage our members to attend to:
Make new friends from all over the country
Grow professionally and practice networking and public speaking skills
Learn about various career opportunities for pharmacists
Gain information to bring back to our chapter and school
Have fun and explore a new city or state
Our APhA-ASP Chapter provides reimbursement/travel compensation for members to attend conferences. Be on the lookout for more information soon about reimbursement opportunities for the upcoming Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM).

Nashville, TN | March 21-24, 2025
The APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition is the most comprehensive meeting for pharmacy professionals and future leaders in pharmacy. As a student pharmacist, you will have the opportunity to learn about leadership, career opportunities, and current hot topics in the profession, and participate in events that will set you apart from the crowd! There are poster presentation opportunities, chapter leader development workshops, the National Patient Counseling Competition, and a career expo, as well as receptions and networking events galore.
This year, the theme, “Igniting Inspiration,” is a powerful call to action for pharmacists to rekindle their passion and embrace their role as leaders and innovators in patient care. Save the date, spread the word, and get ready to network with your peers and reignite the flames of creativity that drive progress in pharmacy practice and patient care.
