Two articles in the September 4 Chain Drug Review capture well the future-focused messaging and the unmatched business opportunities at the 2023 NACDS Total Store Expo. The event was held August 12-14 in San Diego, CA.
1. Chain Drug Review: NACDS Makes the Most of Collaboration
The first article — “NACDS Makes the Most of Collaboration” — exemplifies “the forward- and outward-looking orientation exhibited by NACDS’ leadership” at the NACDS TSE.
Notable quote: “Building lasting coalitions is an essential step toward securing retail pharmacy’s position as the first place people turn when they want to enhance their health and well-being. [Mike] Wysong and [Steve] Anderson are right to exhort people in the industry to show up and show out.”

2. Chain Drug Review: Meet the Market Platform Takes on ‘Critical’ Role
The second article — “Meet the Market Platform Takes on ‘Critical’ Role” — describes the myriad ways in which NACDS TSE meeting attendees can “connect with new business partners and deepen their relationships with existing ones,” particularly through the Meet the Market program.
Notable quote: “‘Meet the Market sets in place a possible relationship that can continue … [It] is instrumental in creating an experience that gets a relationship started, and that allows us to network and sell our product.’”
