With a cool spring breeze on a bright, sunny Sunday, the Sunshine State pulled out all the stops to make the third day of the 2024 APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition (March 24) a beautiful one.

The 2024 APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition was an incredible experience filled with meeting inspiring student pharmacists and pharmacists from all over the country. As a first-timer, I was warmly welcomed by attendees, fellow regional delegates (RDs), Midyear Regional Meeting Coordinators (MRMCs), and national student officers whom I couldn’t wait to meet. Despite spending countless hours on Zoom with these individuals, APhA2024 provided the perfect opportunity for finally meeting face-to-face!

My 2024 APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition Friday (March 22) started off with waking up before my alarm in excitement. I was at APhA2024 in Orlando! I couldn’t wait to get the day started. I quickly got ready and arrived at the convention center by 7:00 am—perhaps a little too early—so I could register and find the room for my first session.
