 Value of Networking
Pharmacy purchasing experts don’t get away
from the pharmacy much because they are so
busy buying, controlling the inventory and
performing the many other procurement tasks
required. But we have convinced many of the
tremendous value found in sitting down and
meeting with colleagues at a convention that is
all about institutional pharmacy purchasing.
There is no other meeting like this, and our
supportive vendors primarily make it happen.
When you help support this conference,
purchasing experts who buy millions of dollars
worth of drugs and supplies will take notice.

Comments From Past Conference Attendees

“I feel that every Buyer should have the opportunity to attend this yearly convention hosted by PPO.”
“I have been a buyer for 26 years, and never had come to the convention before, but I will never miss it again. It had
an excellent variety of issues and topics. Also, there was great representation by suppliers...I got to meet & talk to
lots of them during the display periods.”
“I really learned a lot. I will take what I have learned back to my hospital and apply it to my job. I really enjoyed
this conference.”
“As before, I have enjoyed myself, as well as coming back feeling refreshed in terms of my career.”
“This is my first visit to the conference. I had a great time. I met a lot of new friends, compared notes, and learned
some new techniques.”
“The conference on a whole was outstanding, and I would have to say one of the best you have put on.”
“This was my first conference and I learned so much. It was great meeting people who understand what you go thru
every day at work. Hopefully I will be back next year.”
“This was my first conference, and I really enjoyed meeting other buyers and not feeling alone.”
“My favorite part of this convention is networking. I visited a hospital on Thursday afternoon with a buyer I met at
the conference. I wanted to see their robot, and get some questions answered by people who had real experience.
We are in the process of getting a newer version of the same robot. It was great! If we don't ask, we'll never know
what's possible.”
“The topics were outstanding this year and the speakers were all great. The topics were applicable to buyers!
“It was great to network with peers from across the country and see that we are not alone in our day-to-day struggles
with pharmacy buyer issues.”
“It was nice to sit down with other buyers and see how other pharmacies work and solve their issues.”
“This is a great opportunity to get feedback on critical issues facing pharmacy buyers.”
“I always look forward to the meeting every year. I actually use my vacation time and take off a whole week. I love
networking with all the buyers. Plus, having all the manufacturer reps in one place, what more can a buyer ask for?!”
“Although I’ve been a buyer for 4 years, this was the first time I made it to this conference...boy, have I missed out!
What a wonderful event; well run, very organized, great speakers, and many informative things to take home. Keep up
the good work. See you next year.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this seminar. The topics and speakers were very helpful and overall the presentation was great.
I am truly amazed at the amount of knowledge I have received in the past 3 days. The displays are a lot of fun as well.
Thanks very much for making this possible and hopefully I will be able to attend next year!”
“Overall, the program content was meaningful and pertinent. I am already looking forward to next year.”
“I liked the variety of subjects, and I learned a lot to help me become a better buyer.”
“I have worked in the pharmacy field for 28 years. Thanks for a well prepared program.”
“Programs were extremely informative – I enjoyed them. I hope to come back next year!”
“This is my second year attending. As with the year before, I truly enjoyed it. It was very informative and
interesting. I hope to return in the following years.”
