2017 Elevate Pharmacy Virtual Summit

I am very proud to announce the Encore Presentation of Pharmacy’s first Virual Summit.  On September 15-19th, 2017 we’ll be re-launching the Summit for another 5 day, totally FREE!

In April of 2017, we launched this exciting new platform to over 1,200 pharmacists from around the world.  The feedback we received was overwhelming…

  • “[The Summit] is amazing, I went through 3 interviews today. I am in the process of starting a new pharmacy and this is great. Thanks!”
  • “Elevate Pharmacy Summit = LOVE! Just wanted to give you a shout and let you know how much I’m enjoying the Elevate Pharmacy Summit!”
  • “I doubt I am first but want to be next to drop you a quick note to let you know that I enjoyed your Summit session this morning.   This is a really innovative way of getting this information out to a lot of pharmacists.  Thank you both for the work you are doing.”

In my two years in online business, I’d heard of virtual summits and thought building one would be an interesting platform to bring to the pharmacy industry.

Basically a virtual summit is a collection of interviews on a specific topic and are generally offered free to attendees for 5-10 days.  Interview sessions and structure is  similar to an in-person conference, but in an interview format.

So I decided to go for it…

I started identifying and reaching out to inspiring pharmacy leaders in December.  In January we scheduled interviews with each of those leaders.  All February was spent editing, transcribing and developing summaries of key takeaways from each of the session to share here on the Pharmapreneur Blog.  In April we had an extremely successful launch to great feedback.

 

Now, we’ve even added SIX brand-new BONUS interviews!

Registration is simple and free.  Just enter your best email address and you’ll be registered to receive notification as soon as the Summit goes live September 15-19, 2017.

The Agenda is set up in way that you can make plans to attend the sessions well in advance so you don’t miss a thing.

Here’s an overview of our schedule.
