Motivate. Organize. Visualize. Empower are the tenets that this year’s program planning team and presenters have used to create a unique event designed to provide you with the opportunity to create an agenda for practice and professional development. You’ll be challenged to prepare yourself for practice change through a World Café kick-off session where you will explore the most significant opportunities for advancing practice and how to build influence with high-impact actions to do so. You’ll craft a plan for learning throughout the event, through interactive keynote sessions, clinical pearls, roundtables, and pharmacy management/practice and clinical topic programming in addition to the popular MTM Symposium.

MPhA’s 2016 Annual Learning Networking Event will bring together our pharmacists, student pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, industry professionals, and leaders for two days of cutting-edge programming and networking! Friday afternoon will kick off with Nathan Hunkins from Minnesota Community Measures providing opportunities for you to collaborate in this initiative reflective of Minnesota’s unique quality landscape. The breakout sessions will give you the knowledge and skills you need to do so. Sessions have been integrated for all attendees regardless of the role you play in practice. Sessions will address best practices, personal and professional development, preceptor development, care transitions, current challenges with opioids, and the latest clinical information. You won’t want to miss Friday’s Casino Night Social for the Minnesota Pharmacists Foundation, where participants will have the chance to mingle over table games, share libations and heavy appetizers while raising funds for the Foundation through a raffle and wine pull.

Saturday’s program will begin with topic-specific Breakfast Roundtables. The morning will then provide perspectives on ensuring access and affordability of medication in light of key trends in the health care environment. You’ll hear an engaging program on “game changers” in health careas well as the latest on the profession’s advocacy agenda. All educational offerings are designed to provide participants with information for keeping abreast of innovations in practice and strategies to MOVE their career and practice forward. We will wrap up the day with the Awards Luncheon as we honor past leaders and recognize the accomplishments of many in the profession.

Join this year’s Annual Learning Networking Event and Make YOUR Move: Motivate. Organize. Visualize. Empower. You’ll be among the 300+ professionals who will come together to learn, network and socialize as you map your plan for change.

Exhibiting Options: The main exhibit hall at the conference will be open during the full day of programming on Friday, September 9.
