What to expect
One evening, five reasons to be there
Educational sessions
Expert speakers on the topics shaping pharmacy practice today, from cutting-edge therapies to community health strategy.
Networking
Pharmacists, technicians, students, physicians, and healthcare leaders in one room — the kind of connections that outlast the evening.
Community impact
Health screenings, medication literacy, and resources for the patients who actually take the medications.
Vendor exhibits
Pharmacy schools, pharmaceutical partners, health systems, and community organizations showcasing products, services, and career pathways.
Recognition & celebration
Honoring excellence in our profession, with food, entertainment, and a celebration of Haitian and Caribbean culture.
Where the money goes
All sponsorship proceeds support HAPA’s health education in underserved communities and scholarships for aspiring pharmacy students.
Admission is free

For partners
Why sponsors choose Pharma-Fest
A rare combined audience
Pharmacists, technicians, physicians, students, community leaders, and patients together. Most industry events reach only one of those groups.
Health-equity budget fit
A South Florida event reaching the Haitian community and other underserved patients, with measurable attendance and a written impact report.
Prescribers and dispensers
A pharmacist-run, pharmacist-attended event puts you in front of the professionals who influence dispensing and formulary decisions.
Talent pipeline access
Pharmacy and pre-pharmacy students attend, creating recruiting, internship, and residency-pipeline value.
Everything is documented
Sponsors receive photos, attendance numbers, social media reach, and a written impact summary — the receipts to justify the spend internally.
Flexible structuring
Tax-deductible charitable support, or a non-charitable sponsorship agreement if your company prefers to treat it as a marketing expense.
