Join me at the PCMA Specialty Pharmacy Business Forum

I want to remind you about PCMA's upcoming Specialty Pharmacy Business Forum (SPBF). The event will be held at the wonderful Wynn Las Vegas on March 26-28, 2013. You should register this week, because March 4 is the cut-off date for booking room reservations at the conference rate.

The SBPF is a must-attend meeting for anyone connected to the specialty channel—manufacturers, pharmacies, payers, PBMs, wholesalers, and others. PCMA has a special LinkedIn group for attendees. You can also schedule private meeting rooms during the event. Full details from PCMA below, including information about continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits.

I'll be attending, so please send me an email if you'd like to arrange a one-on-one meeting. See you in Vegas!
