Why ASHP Midyear matters for sales teams
Health-system pharmacy departments buy automation, IT, sterile compounding equipment and services, and they influence formulary and drug purchasing decisions. Pharmacy directors and managers attend Midyear to evaluate options.
For vendors, separating pharmacy leadership from students and residents is the first step. A list filtered by role and health-system size helps you focus on the directors and managers who make or influence purchases.
Is ASHP Midyear right for your team?
Go if you sell to pharma, biotech, diagnostics companies or health systems and want to meet the commercial, medical and research teams that gather at ASHP Midyear. Company delegations are often large.
Think twice if your plan relies on pitching clinicians on the floor. Scientific meetings have strict rules on promotion, so the value is in meetings with company and institutional teams, booked in advance.

The ASHP Midyear app and platform
ASHP offers an official meeting app for schedules, exhibitors and posters.
The official app is good for finding a booth or a session. It is much less useful for prospecting: data is thin, you can’t export it, and messaging limits stop you from reaching more than a handful of people a day.

How to prospect at ASHP Midyear
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Early planning | Pull the attendee, exhibitor and speaker lists and score them against your ideal customer profile. |
| Pre-show outreach | Contact your top tier personally and your second tier with a short sequence. Aim to book meetings, not booth visits. |
| On site | Work from a printed or mobile list of priority accounts and use breaks and evening events for warm introductions. |
| Post-show | Follow up fast, share what you promised, and keep the list for next year’s edition. |
Students and residents make up a large share of Midyear attendance. Use your list to filter by title before outreach so your sales team spends time with pharmacy leadership.
