June 23, 2026- Last week, McKesson Corporation hosted McKesson ideaShare 2026, the company’s annual event for independent community pharmacies, in Denver, Colorado. McKesson ideaShare is a premier event for independent community pharmacy professionals, bringing together leaders from across the country for education, networking and collaboration focused on helping independent pharmacies innovate and thrive.
Advancing Pharmacy Through Innovation and Advocacy
McKesson ideaShare 2026 focused on the strategies, tools and connections independent community pharmacies need to navigate a changing healthcare landscape and create lasting value for patients and communities. The event highlighted emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), with opportunities for attendees to participate in tech-focused education, explore new tools and experience hands-on interactions with AI-powered solutions for their pharmacies.
The event also highlighted how advocacy efforts are helping to advance and protect independent community pharmacy at the local, state and national levels. McKesson is continuing its commitment to supporting state pharmacy associations and their advocacy efforts through dedicated funding via McKesson Amplify. Applications for 2027 McKesson Amplify funding are now open, and eligible state pharmacy associations are encouraged to apply.
