DTC National
April 19-21, 2016 | Boston
With a 15+ year-long reputation as “The Leading Forum for DTC Thought Leaders,” our flagship conference, the DTC National is one of the largest annual conferences focusing solely on direct-to-consumer Rx marketing. Featuring three of the industry’s favorite awards – The DTC National Advertising Awards, Top 25 DTC Marketers of the Year, and DTC Hall of Fame; our conference is designed around cutting edge content (no supplier pitches, no paid agenda slots) and vetted by prestigious conference board.
Our 2016 DTC National will focus on patient power. A number of forces have been responsible for increasing power of patients. Their employers and insurers have been shifting cost to them through higher deductibles and co-pays. Now most patients are basically self-insured and can pay thousands before getting reimbursed. This means they are demanding their services and products be high value for that added cost.

Patient Engagement through Physicians & Pharmacists
November 5-6, 2015 | Philadelphia, PA
The PEPP National, is the first conference dedicated to Patient Engagement through Physicians & Pharmacists. Formerly the POC National, the PEPP National expands upon our Point-of-Care National to better reflect the needs of the patient. Pharmaceutical companies are facing an increasingly educated, involved, and demanding patient. These individuals are paying more of the cost of their health care and consequently expect more value for their share of the cost.
The PEPP National expands beyond advertisements and point of care to address the broader issue of communication among patients, doctors, and pharmacists. This conference provides perspectives on how drug companies can partner with providers in helping to engage patients. Patients want value for their share of the drug bill. No branded drug or device can succeed against generics without a true value-added strategy. Discover how to develop and execute a patient engagement strategy in the new marketplace by creating brand loyalty in a cost-conscious environment.
