The Pharmacy Show – Reaching The Most Powerful Buyers

After the 2009 show, we undertook a major piece of research among Pharmacy Show attendees.  It proved beyond doubt, that the Pharmacy Show delivers key decision-makers from the Pharmacy sector and proven buyers thus cementing its place as the most important sourcing event in the UK.

It shows clearly that Pharmacy Show attendees..

...are hard to reach
20% of our attendees see no non-supplier sales reps and almost half (47%) spend two hours or less in a month seeing reps from potential new suppliers;

...but come ready and able to buy at the Pharmacy Show; 
62% come to the show primarily to source new products and services and over a third (35%) come to find new suppliers;

87% saying they will encourage their colleagues and staff to attend in 2010.
