Attending or thinking of attending Pharmacy Connect for the first time? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! From navigating the busy schedule to making the most of networking opportunities, here are some top tips to help you get the most out of your Pharmacy Connect experience without feeling overwhelmed.
Get organised early
The key to making the most of the conference is to plan ahead. The program for Pharmacy Connect 2025 will be out in May, so keep an eye out on the conference social media channels! Once you have the program, pick out the sessions, workshops, and speakers you want to attend. The program is split into different streams, like business, clinical, and, for the very first time, a dedicated pharmacy assistant education stream, so you can easily choose what you want to learn about and how you want to upskill.
Register for the pre-conference workshops
One of the best ways to start your Pharmacy Connect 2025 experience is by attending one or more of the pre-conference workshops on Wednesday 3 September. These hands-on sessions give you the chance to dive deeper into important areas of the pharmacy industry, from refreshing clinical skills to business ownership advice. They’re also a fantastic way to get warmed up ahead of conference sessions and earn extra CPD credit. Plus, they’re often more intimate, so you can ask questions and really engage with the material in a hands-on environment.
Network, network, network!
This is your chance to meet and connect with like-minded professionals from across the industry and all over Australia. Don’t be shy! Whether you’re at a workshop, wandering through the trade exhibition, or at one of the social events, introduce yourself and make connections. Plus, be sure to download the conference mobile app (available late-August 2025) so that you can easily exchange contact information with your new connections. You can even include your LinkedIn profile in the app to easily connect after the conference.
Check out the trade exhibition
With 70 trade stands showcasing cutting-edge products and services, the Trade Exhibition is an absolute must. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, and don’t be afraid to ask exhibitors questions. This is your chance to discover new tools and technologies that could make a real difference to your pharmacy.
Enjoy the social events
Yes, Pharmacy Connect 2025 is about learning and professional development, but it’s also about having fun! The social events are a great way to meet people in a more relaxed setting. Whether it’s at the Welcome Reception, or the Cocktail Party, make sure to join in and register ahead of time. You never know who you’ll meet or what connections you’ll make.
Make Pharmacy Connect 2025 a memorable first experience
Your first time at Pharmacy Connect should be exciting and rewarding. With a little planning, some networking, and a lot of enthusiasm, you’ll leave the conference feeling inspired and ready to apply what you’ve learned. Enjoy the experience!
