Our Take
Why Exhibit
A focused pharmacy leadership conference with a 20:1 attendee-to-exhibitor ratio and 8+ hours of unopposed exhibit time. If you sell pharmacy automation, medication management systems, clinical decision support, or compounding equipment, ASHP Pharmacy Futures delivers pharmacy directors and clinical pharmacists who influence purchasing. Reception and lunches in the exhibit hall ensure traffic.
Why Skip
Small compared to ASHP Midyear (~2,000 vs ~25,000). If budget allows only one ASHP event, Midyear delivers 10x the audience. The exhibit hall hours are limited (reception + two lunch periods). If you sell to bedside clinicians rather than pharmacy departments, this is the wrong audience.
Insider Tips
ASHP Pharmacy Futures is the summer counterpart to ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting (December, ~25,000 attendees). If you exhibit at Midyear already, Pharmacy Futures is a good complement for reaching pharmacy leadership specifically. The Innovation Learning Labs at $5,000 are a cost-effective way to present without a full booth. SPARGO manages both events -- leverage the relationship. St. Louis America's Center is non-union with affordable logistics.
