Pre-Conference Session: Super-Charge Your AI Use to Streamline Pharmacy Operations and Get Ahead

Speakers: Brandon Pipkin.

Artificial intelligence isn’t coming to pharmacy, it’s already here. This session kicks off with an energizing recap on how compounding pharmacies are actually using AI right now, from workflow automation to marketing, documentation, and compliance support. You’ll get a rapid update on the latest tools shaping the profession. 

Then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on workshop where you’ll build your own internal GPT tool, no coding required. Bring your laptop and leave with a working AI model that can handle tasks like automated email replies, form generation, or document drafting customized to your pharmacy.

PFMs: $349

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 refund of registration fees paid less a 50% administrative fee, a written cancellation must be received by APC no later than 11:59 PM EST on Friday, February 28, 2026. 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 One Fund Golf Fundraiser is non-refundable. However, a ticket may be transferred to another person for the round of golf.

 

Exhibit space cancellation policy: All exhibit space cancellations must be submitted in writing and received by APC, on or before February 28, 2026 for a refund of registration fees paid less a 50% administration fee.

Please note that exhibitor registration cancellations must be submitted in writing separately from the exhibit space cancellation and follow the Individual event registration policy guidelines.

Tickets purchased for the APC CompPAC fundraising reception are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Tickets are not refundable because this is an investment in CompPAC, but may be transferred to another individual.
