General Schedule & Location of Events

2025 NPPA Conference: Sept. 29-Oct. 2

Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel

Detailed schedule coming soon

Opening Reception for Attendees:

    • Held on Monday September 29 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm in SkyView Rooms 5/6 on the 26th floor, with a view of the Las Vegas Strip and the famous Sphere attraction. The 26th floor is accessed from the sleeping room elevator banks.
    • Socialize with your colleagues and enjoy food, drinks, and prize giveaways. Arrive early to enjoy the spread and allow extra time to meet and network with your fellow buyer colleagues.
    • Co-sponsored by NPPA and a vendor-exhibitor TBD.

Educational Program: ACPE-accredited CE lectures start Tuesday September 30 approx. 8:20am and end Thursday October 2 approx. 1:30pm. All lectures will be held in the Platinum Grand Ballroom, accessed from the Grand Salon area when you first walk in from the hotel convention room hallway.

Meals: All meals will be provided in the Gold Ballroom, the next room over from where the lectures are held. Breakfasts start approx. 7:15am on Tuesday & Wednesday and approx. 8:30am on Thursday. Lunches start around noon on all 3 days.

New for 2025—Pharm to Table: Exhibitor Lunch with Attendees. Exhibitor reps may now join attendees during their provided lunch meal periods. However, only one rep per company may join initially. A possible second rep may be allowed later after each exhibitor has a chance to join. Exhibitors greatly help support the conference with generous funding contributions and sponsorships. Over the past few years, exhibitors have asked for more time to socialize with the pharmacy attendees, so NPPA has decided to offer this new optional add-on to the exhibitor package. We are excited about this new program and hope it works for everyone.

Vendor-Exhibit Hall: Held on Tuesday September 30 & Wednesday October 1 in the Event Center at the other end of the Grand Salon & Ballrooms. Now in two 90-minute periods on each of the exhibit days (for 3 hours each day), in-between lectures and meal breaks. Snacks will be provided by NPPA, and prizes will be given away by exhibitors as well as NPPA.

340B University: Offered as an optional add-on event, held on Monday, September 29 from approx. 8:00am to 4:45pm (before NPPA’s Opening Reception). It is sponsored and hosted by the HRSA 340B Prime Vendor Program (PVP) managed by Apexus—also one of NPPA’s vendor-exhibitors, held in the hotel’s Gold Ballroom. Details and registration with Apexus for this complimentary event will be provided later.

Location of hotel rooms to conference events:

    • Horseshoe’s Resort Tower hotel rooms are conveniently located in the same tower as the CE lectures & GPO breakouts, Opening Reception, and Vendor-Exhibit Hall (as well as the optional 340B University event).
    • Everything is conveniently accessible from the elevator that connects to the sleeping rooms down to the ground-floor/lobby along with the hallway that leads to the hotel’s convention-room area.
