Upcoming Events

Learning. Connection. Community.

Signature Experience

Our flagship annual experience bringing together pharmacy leaders, innovators, and community builders who are actively redefining what is possible and shaping what comes next.

Why This Matters

The Next Dose Summit is more than a gathering.
It is a catalyst for what comes next in pharmacy and community care.

This event serves as a key funding driver for the Jordan Smith Community Care Foundation’s signature initiatives.

From empowering pharmacy technicians through the Rx Technician Collective, to expanding access to care through Remote Area Medical clinics, this work is rooted in real impact.

When you attend, partner, or support this summit, you are not just investing in your own growth.
You are directly contributing to the future of pharmacy and the communities we serve.
