Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha) has released the preliminary program for Medicines Management 2026 (MM2026), with more than 100 sessions confirmed as the conference marks its 50th edition.
The event will run from 22–24 October in Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, with more than 30 invited speakers, 10 interactive workshops, 78 contributed papers and over 350 posters on offer.
The Hon. Emma McBride MP FANZCAP (Lead&Mgmt, MentalHlth) will open proceedings on Friday 23 October.
More than 1200 pharmacy professionals are expected to attend, with keynote speakers including Dr Gemma Munro, Barry Du Bois and Royal Flying Doctor Pharmacist Elizabeth Doran, who will share her experience delivering pharmacy care in remote Australia.
A profession-wide lens
AdPha says the program spans “every area of contemporary pharmacy practice”, from emerging technologies and breakthrough therapies to evolving models of care.
“MM2026 will allow delegates to tailor their experience to their interests, specialty and career stage,” says the organisation.
“The program is designed to put pharmacists, technicians and all pharmacy professionals in a ‘limitless’ frame of mind, ready to embrace change and shape what comes next.”
Built for the future
AdPha Vice President Brenda Shum FANZCAP (Lead&Mgmt) says the milestone conference is an opportunity for the profession to look beyond what is happening today and actively shape what comes next.
“While this year’s milestone event is particularly special, the calibre and breadth of the MM2026 program is also exceptional,” she says.
“Pharmacy is changing rapidly, and this program reflects that.
“From artificial intelligence and new therapies to sustainability, workforce evolution and demonstrating our value within health systems, MM2026 will challenge delegates to think differently about what is possible.
“Most importantly, this is a program built around the future of our profession.
“It is an opportunity to learn from leading experts, share what is happening on the ground and leave with new ideas, practical insights and connections that can make a difference in practice.
“MM2026 is our 50th celebration of Medicines Management, but it is firmly focused on the future.
“I encourage pharmacy professionals at every stage of their career to register early and start building their own personalised conference experience.”
