The Benefits of the ASCPT 2025 Annual Meeting
When proposing attendance at the ASCPT Annual Meeting, it’s essential to focus on the return on investment for your organization rather than emphasizing your desire to attend. Highlight the value of new ideas, current advancements, and emerging trends that the conference will offer.
ASCPT attendees agree that networking is one of the most significant benefits of attending such conferences. Nowhere else will you encounter so many scientists, researchers, and field-leading experts addressing the same challenges as your organization.
However, while networking is highly beneficial, it’s also one of the most challenging aspects to quantify in terms of value. Therefore, when making your case, be specific in outlining the potential gains. Some important details to consider include:
- Session content: Highlight the specific sessions that are relevant to your organization.
- Multi-disciplinary education: Only ASCPT offers true multi-disciplinary education with speakers and attendees from all areas of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
- Vendor contacts: In our partner pavilion, you can meet vendors with products and services you may be currently using or will use in the future. You can meet with companies in-person to make informed recommendations.
Remember, be confident, and know that the ASCPT Annual Meeting is ESSENTIAL for your professional success!
