2025 Owner Summit

March 14-16 | Hotel Effie Sandestin | Destin, FL

You just might find you get what you need ...

It’s back and better than ever — the learning and networking event of the year for compounding pharmacy owners and managers.

This 100% business-focused conference is where you’ll learn not only from our sessions and incredible speakers, but from compounding leaders facing the same challenges you’re facing. Owner Summit isn’t about vague concepts or a 30,000-foot view. It’s about going home with dozens of actionable ideas to try in your compounding practice.

Space is limited, and it will sell out, so register today.

Cancellation Policy/Refund Policy: Refunds are limited to conference fees paid, and do not include travel, lodging, transportation, or other fees paid independently of conference registration at the time of refund request. Conference fees paid include but are not limited to event registration. Cancellations may be submitted at any time and must be submitted to APC in writing (info@a4pc.org). All refund requests must also be submitted in writing, to info@a4pc.org. To qualify for a full refund of registration fees paid less a $100 administrative fee, a written cancellation must be received by APC no later than 11:59 PM EST on Friday, February 28, 2025. After that time no refunds will be given due to contracts with the hotel. Because it is a donation to APC’s One Fund, a ticket purchased for the APC OneFund Golf Fundraiser is non-refundable.
