The AXS24 Summit is right around the corner - are you ready to make the most of it?
The AXS Summit offers a platform for networking, education, and collaboration. Attendees from across the industry will have the opportunity to explore new advances, share insights, and shape the future of specialty pharmacy together. Amidst the opportunity, however, it can be easy to miss the practical details that help you and your organization get the most out of your time (and investment).
With nearly two decades of Asembia experience under our belts, the D2 team has compiled a few practical things to know about the Asembia experience to help you and your team next week:
Decide On One, Primary Conference Goal
Asembia is jam-packed with the industry's best minds and missions - how can you be sure you're spending time (and financial investments) in the right places? Before you go, circle up with your team and answer this question:
What pivotal takeaway from Asembia will drive your organization's success this year?
Identify your greatest roadblocks and chase their solutions. Here are some examples of Asembia goals we've seen over the years:
- Seeking strategic partnerships or stakeholders in hopes of scaling the organization, launching a product, or smoothing commercialization.
- Enhancing the patient experience, like simplifying data collection, onboarding, or prior authorizations, and reducing never-starts.
- Getting a better handle on their organization’s compliance operations, like accreditations, or discovering a better way to manage them.
- Gaining industry insights to better position and prepare their organization, product, or team for the upcoming year.
Asembia Arrival Can Be Tricky
Remember that The Wynn and Encore have separate entrances. Be sure to alert your driver to which hotel your meetings or sessions are located to ensure a smooth arrival. Your feet will thank you because there is a lot of walking during the conference. Comfortable shoes are highly recommended!
Don't Miss the Welcome Reception
On Monday, the summit kicks off with business sessions, networking, and the AXS24 welcome reception in the exhibit hall. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow attendees and industry professionals. This is the best opportunity for first impressions, scoping out who's on the exhibit floor, and filling in any remaining meeting gaps to make the most of your time there.
Network in the Hallway
There will be various networking sessions throughout Asembia that allow you to meet and exchange ideas with other stakeholders in the specialty pharmacy industry. We highly recommend you walk the hallways in between sessions - you may run into some incredible stakeholders and strike up a great conversation.
We also recommend checking out bar locations at the Wynn and Encore in the evenings. Oftentimes you'll find specialty pharmacy colleagues enjoying a beverage there, as well as new industry contacts that could result in great meeting outcomes.
The Sessions are Worth It
Because the summit is a hub for pharmacy industry stakeholders, you can expect informative speakers, educational programs, and insightful business sessions. It’s a chance to understand challenges, generate solutions, and shape the future of the industry.
Asembia is also an incredible chance to get live CEUs for those of you needing continued education; we recommend spending some time before the conference identifying what sessions you'd most like to attend.
Mind the Elevators...
If you are scheduled to have a meeting in a suite at the Wynn or Encore, make sure you plan to arrive early to your meeting. Asembia veterans will know that the elevator lines can get incredibly long and have been known to cause people to miss meetings entirely.
Remember to Reflect & Celebrate
On Wednesday evening May 1, 2024, the closing reception will take place in the exhibit hall. The closing reception provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to network, reflect on the summit, and celebrate the knowledge shared and connections made during the event one last time before heading home.
