About The Panel Conference
In 2009, the first edition of The Panel, Nigeria’s Premier Retail Pharmacy Business Summit was hosted at the First Foundation Place on Opebi road, Ikeja. From that humble beginning 17 years ago, The Panel conference has become the Conference of choice within the Nigerian Pharmaceutical industry attracting over 600 Community Pharmacists from all geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
The main objective of the Conference is to help Community Pharmacists replace trial and error with solid business skills and tactics. Since inception, the Conference has been hosted consistently year on year with the first six editions hosted as a 1-day conference.
As demand for more content grew, it evolved 2-day Conference. This format ran for another 5 years until the demand for more premium content became overwhelming.
In the year 2020, we launched the 3-day Hybrid format of the conference, and the acceptance has been simply overwhelming with our delegate headcount increasing year on year.This year, we are hoping to host over 1000 delegates both on-site and online. Looking forward to seeing you there.
