We are so honored to be a part of NACDS, especially the Regional Chain Conference because regional chains are very unique – we aren’t as large as some of the bigger entities – but we bring a lot of value to the pharmacy table.
Jessica Strobl
VP of Pharmacy Services, Lewis Drug
The Regional Chain Conference is a fantastic opportunity to touch base with a lot of other regional pharmacy chains, that are in the same position you are in, and its also a great opportunity to meet with vendors. It’s a great touchpoint to collaborate and work on new initiatives.
Angie Nelson
Senior Vice President, Pharmacy, Hy‑Vee, Inc.
Much of our business is focused on Regional Chain partnerships and I could not speak more highly of the format of the NACDS Regional Chain Conference. The event has a good blend of meetings, networking, and sessions, along with the right balance of attendees and suppliers to allow us to engage with existing customers and build relationships with new prospects.
