    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    The 2025 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition took place December 7–10, 2025, in Las Vegas, NV, and was described by ASHP as a 'huge success' marking the close of 60 years of the meeting. ASHP's official recap thanks members for 'another incredible meeting' and directs attention to the 2026 edition in Orlando. The official site does not publish audited attendance, exhibitor, or floor-area figures for 2025; the general claim that the meeting draws 'more than 20,000 attendees' each year remains the only quantified audience statement on the official pages.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    ASHP positions Midyear as the world's largest gathering of pharmacy professionals, with more than 20,000 attendees annually. The official audience description covers pharmacy students, residents, clinical pharmacists, health-system pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy leaders and executives, pharmacy educators and preceptors, researchers, and industry professionals. Attendees come from hospitals, health systems, academia, industry, government, ambulatory care, and every stage of practice. No independently audited audience-breakdown percentages are published on the official 2026 pages.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    Official ASHP sources do not publish quantified exhibitor ROI, lead-volume, or cost-per-lead data for the Midyear. The organiser's exhibitor-facing messaging emphasises access to more than 20,000 pharmacy professionals, including decision-makers across health systems, hospitals, ambulatory care, and academia, and the opportunity to demonstrate products and services in the Exhibit Hall. No specific ROI claims are made here because no official ROI metrics were found.

    Why it matters

    ASHP Midyear is the largest annual gathering of pharmacy professionals, drawing 20,000–25,000 attendees and over 300 exhibitors. For 2026, the event lands at an inflection point: 340B rebate mechanics, IRA implementation, drug-shortage volatility, and AI adoption are forcing health-system pharmacy leaders to make consequential financial and operational decisions. Exhibitors that can demonstrate measurable ROI in automation, supply-chain resilience, specialty pharmacy enablement, or reimbursement optimization will find a concentrated audience of department directors, clinical specialists, and C-suite pharmacy executives. Because more than half of registrants are practicing pharmacists and nearly one in four is a department or assistant director, Midyear functions as both a clinical education forum and a strategic buying and recruiting marketplace.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Financial pressures and PBM/340B reform reshape pharmacy economics

    Health-system pharmacy leaders expect continued strain from uncompensated care, tighter reimbursement, and potential changes to the 340B drug pricing program. Many are exploring new PBM models or more transparent contracting as scrutiny of traditional PBMs increases.

    Source
    02

    AI and automation scale from pilots to core operations

    Health systems are embedding AI into prior authorization, inpatient order verification, and central distribution, while automation expands into sterile compounding and diversion monitoring. Pharmacy leaders report AI-supported systems can reduce medication errors and administrative drag.

    Source
    03

    Drug shortages and supply-chain resilience remain a top operational threat

    Active U.S. drug shortages rose to 227 in Q2 2026, marking a third consecutive quarterly increase. Health systems are investing in shortage intelligence, alternative sourcing, and supply-chain transparency to protect patient care.

    Source
    04

    Cybersecurity and climate risks enter pharmacy continuity planning

    Two-thirds of pharmacy leaders say a cyberattack could disrupt drug delivery nationwide, and nearly three-quarters expect weather-related events to interfere with hospital operations and medication access. Resilience planning now includes digital infrastructure and environmental contingency.

    Source
    05

    Specialty pharmacy, advanced therapies, and infusion site-of-care shifts

    Growth in GLP-1s, theranostics, cell and gene therapies, and specialty infusion is pushing health systems to rethink operational readiness, payer contracting, and where complex therapies are delivered.

    Source
    06

    Workforce and care-model innovation in health-system pharmacy

    Pharmacy leaders are scaling pharmacist-led value-based care, take-home dispensing in emergency departments, and centralized fulfillment to free clinical pharmacists for higher-value work amid persistent staffing and reimbursement pressure.

    Weather

    December is Orlando’s dry, mild season. Average daytime highs reach about 23°C (73°F) and nighttime lows fall to around 11–15°C (52–59°F). Expect roughly 6 rainy days and about 43–52 mm of rainfall for the month, with low humidity and a moderate UV index.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    MCO is the primary airport, about 12–15 miles and 20–25 minutes by car or rideshare. The I-Ride Trolley Red Line runs along International Drive and stops at the Orange County Convention Center, connecting hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Lynx Link 311 provides a budget bus connection from MCO to the Destination Parkway area near the convention center. The OCCC has five pedestrian bridges linking to the Hilton, Hyatt Regency, Rosen Plaza, and Rosen Centre hotels. SunRail commuter rail does not currently serve the convention center directly, but a planned Sunshine Corridor extension would connect MCO, the convention center, and International Drive in the future.

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Cashless venue and tipping norms

    The Orange County Convention Center is a cashless venue for parking and many on-site services. U.S. tipping norms apply: 15–20% at restaurants, $2–5 per bag for hotel bell staff, and small tips for shuttle or rideshare drivers are customary but not mandatory.

    International Drive safety awareness

    International Drive is a busy tourist corridor. Keep valuables out of sight in vehicles, lock hotel doors, and stay aware of surroundings, especially in parking areas. Property crime and car break-ins are the most common risks for visitors in tourist zones.

    Professional conference culture

    ASHP Midyear is a professional pharmacy meeting. Business casual or professional attire is standard for sessions, and business cards are useful for networking. The Residency Showcase and PPS are high-stakes environments where advance preparation and punctuality are expected.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: 2026-12-07

    Monday offers the widest one-day cross-section: PPS runs 7:30 a.m p.m., the Opening Session is 9-10:30 a.m., the Exhibit Program is 11 a.m p.m., education runs 11:15 a.m:15 p.m., Residency Showcase is 1-4 p.m., and multiple poster and official networking sessions run around them. It is the strongest single day for combining learning, sourcing, career and relationship goals.

    T-120

    Confirm U.S. entry eligibility and start visa planning if required — Guidance for international attendees. ASHP advises applying for a visa well in advance; an official invitation letter is available only after Midyear registration.

    T-30

    Choose full or one-day registration and complete registration — Guidance. The 2026 advance-rate window ended November 6; regular rates apply from November 7. One-day registration is available Sunday through Wednesday and includes meeting sessions and exhibits.

    T-30

    Reserve hotel through the official ASHP housing channel — Guidance. Orchid.Events is the only official hotel reservation partner. The attendee booking deadline was extended to November 16 at 7 p.m. ET; cancellations after November 12 incur a $75 processing fee.

    T-21

    Lock travel and local transport — Guidance. Orlando International Airport is about 12 miles from the convention center and ASHP states the drive is about 15-20 minutes. Official hotel shuttle service operates during the meeting; airport transfers are separate.

    T-14

    Build a personal agenda in ASHP LIVE! and resolve schedule conflicts — Guidance. Prioritize education, networking, Exhibit Program, PPS and Residency Showcase based on your goal; the official schedule has substantial overlap.

    T-7

    Shortlist exhibitors, networking sessions and career targets — Guidance. The Exhibit Program runs December 7-9, official topic networking sessions run throughout the meeting, PPS operates December 6-9, and Residency Showcase sessions run December 7-8.

    T-1

    Plan badge pickup and pack for long convention days — Guidance. Main registration is in OCCC West Lobby A, Level 1. Pre-registered attendees can also use satellite badge pickup when available. Pack business-casual/professional layers and comfortable shoes.

    T-0

    Start with a short list of must-do outcomes — Guidance. Aim for a small number of high-value sessions, meetings and exhibitors rather than trying to cover the entire 20,000-plus-attendee meeting.

    Decision

    Visit, exhibit, or skip?

    Should you go?

    Answer for your real 2026 objective, budget and readiness. The result weighs audience fit, learning or buyer value, travel friction, pipeline timing and exhibit execution.

    QUESTION 1 OF 8

    How closely does ASHP Midyear match the people you need to meet?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Visit when you can name at least one concrete outcome such as CE, a technology or medication evaluation, a career move, a residency search, or several priority meetings. The $1,100 planning floor assumes a focused trip and excludes airfare.

    Best for

    Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, students, residents, educators, researchers, job seekers and buyers who can use the 200+ sessions, Exhibit Program, PPS, Residency Showcase and topic networking to solve defined learning, career or sourcing needs.

    Min. budget

    $1,100.00

    Timeline

    Plan 2-4 weeks for a focused domestic visit; international attendees should start substantially earlier because ASHP advises early visa planning.

    Risks

    Registration, hotel and travel can outweigh value if you arrive without a short target list.

    Education, exhibits, networking, PPS and Residency Showcase overlap heavily, so agenda conflicts are unavoidable.

    The Exhibit Program is open only 11 a.m p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 11 a.m p.m. Wednesday.

    exhibit

    Exhibit when your offer directly serves health-system pharmacy, you can pre-identify target accounts, your booth story is demonstration-ready, and your team can follow up rapidly. The $7,000 planning floor is a lean estimate excluding airfare and many service-kit charges.

    Best for

    Pharmaceutical, biotech, automation, digital-health, clinical-product, education and pharmacy-service suppliers with a defined health-system pharmacy audience and target-account list.

    Min. budget

    $7,000.00

    Timeline

    Allow roughly 8-16 weeks for booth planning, staff, housing, service orders, freight, demos and lead workflow; space/payment commitments occur much earlier in the official sales cycle.

    Risks

    The official 10 x 10 ft floor-space cost is $5,200 before corner fees, booth production, utilities, freight, internet, travel and lodging.

    Exhibit-hall selling time totals 11 published hours across three days, so weak targeting can quickly reduce ROI.

    Freight, drayage, utilities, contractor work and insurance requirements can materially increase spend and must be checked in the service kit.

    skip

    Skip this edition when audience/category fit is weak or you cannot define a measurable outcome that justifies registration, travel or exhibit spend.

    Best for

    Organizations and professionals with weak health-system pharmacy fit, no current buying/selling/career objective, no workable travel budget, or insufficient booth readiness.

    Timeline

    Use 1-2 hours remotely to review the exhibitor list, published program and relevant contacts, then redirect budget to targeted outreach or another event.

    Risks

    You give up face-to-face access to a 20,000-plus pharmacy audience and more than 300 exhibitors.

    You may miss career, residency, clinical-learning and partnership opportunities that are difficult to recreate remotely.

    Competitors may gain visibility with pharmacy decision-makers while you are absent.
