What is the Annual Convention All About?
The Michigan Pharmacists Association’s Annual Convention & Exposition is a three-day event that occurs annually. The convention attracts pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy students, pharmaceutical representatives and academia. Recently, the Annual Convention was recognized and honored by Michigan association peers for its innovation, achievement and excellence. The Annual Convention offers more than 60 continuing education programs, including the pain and live continuing education credits required for pharmacist relicensure. It also provides attendees with numerous networking opportunities, including an exhibit hall, an annual banquet to celebrate Michigan’s leaders in pharmacy and social events.

MPA is also proud to provide special programming for students of the colleges of pharmacy at Ferris State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The MPA Annual Convention & Exposition provides intensive continuing education programming designed to prepare pharmacy professionals for the future. Topics cover a wide range of health and practice setting issues to meet your desired professional needs.

New in 2010, MPA also held the Student Pharmacist Self-Care Challenge, and the Michigan Pharmacy Foundation (MPF) held a personal care donation drive raising more than 1,500 pounds of donations and $300 in monetary donations that were used to purchase additional care items to donate to Mother Waddles Perpetual Mission.
