Meet the Experts

Monday and Tuesday, 11:15 am – 12:30 pm
Exhibit Hall

Better than Hollywood glam, here’s your chance to meet and talk with “celebrities of the pharmacy world.”  In informal one-on-one or small group consultations at small tables, you’ll have the opportunity to ask an expert any question you’ve been wondering about.  Each table will be labeled with a topic so you can choose an expert in an area important to you.  Meet the Experts sessions will be held at 11:15 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 15 and Tuesday, June 16 in the back of the Exhibit Hall.
