Where Pharmacy’s Top Minds and Innovators Align.
CPES is not a conference. It is a highly curated, invitation-only environment where senior pharmacy executives from the nation’s leading health systems sit down with select innovators for two days of focused, candid dialogue.
Explore CPES Corporate MembershipWhere Healthcare’s Pharmacy Leaders Have Honest Conversations
Every Company Panel session is private — one company, one room of clinical decision-makers, honest feedback. By strictly prohibiting sales pitches, CPES creates an environment that facilitates clarity, accelerates improved solutions, and shapes the strategic direction of the companies building the future of pharmacy.
The result is mutual value: suppliers gain unfiltered access to the minds that matter, while executives gain early insight into, and influence over, the clinical and operational solutions transforming their industry.

The Company Panel Format
The Company Panel is the signature session format of every CPES meeting. It gives one supplier company a private room with a curated group of attending executives. No competing vendors. No distractions. Just a focused conversation between the innovators building solutions and the clinical leaders who will actually implement them.
Private Panel Sessions
One company presents to a room of senior pharmacy executives. With no competing vendors present, the focus remains entirely on collaboration and the strategic initiatives that matter to your organization.
Unfiltered, Real-Time Feedback
Executives respond candidly. Discover what works, what doesn’t, and what health systems actually need right now. There is no polite deflection—just honest dialogue and real-time surveying to capture actionable data.
High-Level Executive Insight
Every person in the room is a hand-picked pharmacy leader. They aren’t there to be pitched; they are there to provide the strategic, clinical, and operational guidance that shapes the future of our industry.
