The AmplifyLTC Conference Survival Guide

It’s the most wonderful time of year for LTC pharmacy. The AmplifyLTC conference is right around the corner, where pharmacists and other healthcare professionals come together to learn, network, and innovate.

Whether you’re a seasoned vet of the tradeshow floor or new to the event, we’ve got you covered. Going to a trade show is a big endeavor, so make sure you’re ready to go. If you need some pointers or a refresher course, look no further.

Welcome to the AmplifyLTC Conference Survival Guide.

Before You Go

As a pharmacist, you know better than anyone just how essential it is to have a plan. As they say, conquer the day so the day doesn’t conquer you. Here are some tips to prepare for AmplifyLTC.

Check, Check, Check

First things first: check that you’re successfully registered for the conference. If you’re going in a group, ensure the whole group is correctly registered, i.e. make sure John Smith is not going as Jane Doe.

Next, if you’re flying to AmplifyLTC (Nashville for this year’s event), check that your flight tickets are good to go.

If you’re driving, make sure you have a time-efficient route. That means looking at traffic patterns and knowing when a two-hour drive can become an all-day escapade. Go with time and you’ll have a good time.

Pack Light and Pack Right

The AmplifyLTC conference goes from May 16-19, which usually averages out to a low of 59°F and high up to 77°F in Nashville.

While the outdoors can be nice and breezy, the classes in the Gaylord Opryland can feel wintry by comparison. Bring a light jacket so you’re not shivering all day.

Bring a Water Bottle

Few things come in clutch as a reusable water bottle. They can also add to your outfit if you have a stylish one. Master both form and function (and hydration) by bringing a reusable water bottle — it’s also great for the environment!

There’s an App for That

Download the AmplifyLTC conference mobile app. The app will have all the essential information you need for the event, class slides, plus extra features to enhance your experience.

Also, download the Gaylord Hotels: Resort app. The Nashville Gaylord is a massive piece of property and the app gives you literal step-by-step directions to your room, exhibitor hall, or restaurant of choice.

These two apps will help make your AmplifyLTC experience as smooth as possible. Whether you’re running to the next class or grabbing a bite to eat, they're an absolute must-have.

When You Arrive

Now you’re here. Now that you have your plan of action and know the attendee guide like the back of your hand, it’s time to step foot into the exhibitor hall.

Event Check-In

Registration will be at the Gaylord’s Presidential Lobby (use the Gaylord app to know where it is). Pick up your badges and workbook. You’ve got a big week ahead of you.

Take Notes, Lots of Them

As mentioned earlier, being an AmplifyLTC conference attendee gives you exclusive access to vital resources that can further your LTC pharmacy’s success. All classes and speakers can make you look at pharmacy work, patient care, and business in a new and enlightening way. Be a sponge, absorb all that information, and write it down.

Network

The learning doesn’t stop after your last class. You and other AmplifyLTC attendees are some of the brightest minds in the industry, so why not bounce ideas off each other?

Networking is an essential part of your LTC pharmacy’s success. Just hearing another pharmacist talking about their work can jumpstart your next great idea.

It takes a village to provide excellent patient care. And it can take as much to find that next great idea.

Explore the Trade Show Floor

Time flies by when you’re having fun. The AmplifyLTC conference has all kinds of exhibitors and booths to elevate your LTC pharmacy. It’s also worth it to learn different perspectives on familiar concepts.

You can also win prizes for visiting all the booths at AmplifyLTC. You get valuable networking experience, and you can win prizes — not a bad combination.

Explore Your Surroundings

The Gaylord app paints a picture of what you can do after class. There is no shortage of things to do in Nashville while you attend the AmplifyLTC conference.

If you prefer to stay in the Gaylord during your evenings, you’re in luck. You can visit the Jack Daniels restaurant for some supper and a nightcap or go to the Solario Cantina if you’re in the mood for Mexican food and margaritas.

Want some fun for the family? The Soundwaves water park is there to splash up your day.
