American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition

Event Snapshot

• Event: ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition
• Community: Hospital & health-system pharmacy leaders, clinical pharmacists, pharmacy directors, pharmacy technicians, researchers, and industry partners
• Core theme: Evidence-based clinical practice, medication safety, formulary management, antimicrobial stewardship, outcomes and quality initiatives, and implementation of advanced pharmacy services
• Format: Conference sessions + poster presentations + education programs + large exhibition with healthcare/medication stakeholders

1️⃣ Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

This meeting is heavily practitioner- and decision-influenced, but it is not limited to pharmacists alone. It attracts health-system pharmacy leadership and the operational owners of medication management programs. In practice, the “buyer” logic here is best framed as: who has budget influence, who sets clinical/operational priorities, and who selects or recommends vendors that support pharmacy workflows, clinical services, quality reporting, medication management infrastructure, and specialty pharmacy services.

Primary attendee groups we typically see for this event:

• Health-system pharmacists (clinical leadership): pharmacy leadership with responsibility for antimicrobial stewardship, medication safety, clinical pathways, and formulary strategy
• Pharmacy directors / managers: oversee staffing models, clinical service expansion, procurement coordination (often with internal stakeholders), and implementation of pharmacy services
• Pharmacy operations and informatics roles: pharmacy informatics leads, medication management workflow owners, and implementation specialists for EHR-adjacent solutions
• Clinical specialists: infectious disease/ID pharmacists, oncology pharmacists, critical care pharmacists, and transplant-related pharmacy teams
• Hospital leadership partners: representatives from pharmacy governance and quality departments who support medication safety and measurable outcomes
• Industry attendees: manufacturers and solution providers in therapeutics, medication safety, medication management technology, analytics, pharmacy workflow, and education-related services

What “buyer-fit” means here (practical targeting logic):

• We prioritize roles that own clinical programs (stewardship, safety, quality reporting)
• We prioritize roles that own workflow implementation (informatics, automation readiness, medication-use processes)
• We prioritize roles that influence vendor selection through committees or operational adoption
• We prioritize roles that evaluate outcomes and justify adoption with metrics (quality, errors reduction, guideline compliance)

2️⃣ Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

ASHP Midyear is typically hosted in major U.S. convention venues and is strongly U.S.-centric in attendee composition. The event tends to draw pharmacy professionals from across the country because it functions as a national meeting for the health-system pharmacy community.

Geographic origin (expected):

• Primary: United States (national audience across all regions)
• Secondary: Some international participation through professional networks and globally active pharmaceutical/health technology companies

Best geographic targeting approach:

• United States coverage for health-systems, academic medical centers, hospital chains, and national pharmacy networks
• Concentration support: major metro areas (for in-person presence and sponsor footprint) can matter for certain industry segments
• Workforce + specialty focus: health-systems with specialty services (ID, oncology, critical care) often attend at higher rates

3️⃣ Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

This event should be treated as a national industry platform with a high concentration of health-system decision influencers. While certain stakeholders are globally connected through pharmaceutical and health technology supply chains, attendee behavior and content are primarily driven by U.S. health-system practice.

• Reach level: National
• Global signals: Industry sponsorship participation and international brand visibility (especially for therapeutic and technology categories)
• Community depth: Very strong within health-system pharmacy operations and clinical practice
