At RxTechExam, our mission has always extended beyond helping students pass the PTCE. While education and certification are essential, they are only part of the equation. True workforce transformation happens when education, advocacy, mentorship, and leadership development move forward together. That is why RxTechExam continues to invest time, presence, and energy into supporting the pharmacy profession at the national, state, and local levels.
One of the most meaningful ways we do this is by actively participating in pharmacy conferences, association meetings, and professional gatherings across the country. These events are more than calendar dates. They are where real conversations happen about workforce shortages, technician advancement, regulatory changes, patient safety, education pathways, and the future of pharmacy practice. Being in these rooms allows us to listen, learn, collaborate, and advocate for pharmacy technicians and the professionals who support them.
Conferences create space for mentorship to happen organically. A student meets a leader. A technician sees a career pathway they did not know existed. An educator connects with an employer. A pharmacy leader hears directly from the workforce about what is working and what needs to change. These connections strengthen the profession and help move it forward in sustainable ways.
In 2026, RxTechExam is proud to continue showing up for the profession by attending and supporting several key pharmacy conferences across the country. Each of these events plays a critical role in advancing education, professional development, advocacy, and workforce readiness:

And we amplify the importance of investing in people, not just processes.
Our call to action is simple but powerful. If you are a pharmacy professional, technician, student, educator, or leader, show up for the profession. Attend conferences. Join associations. Participate in discussions. Mentor someone coming behind you. Advocate for education and credentialing pathways that elevate practice and protect patients. The strength of pharmacy depends on all of us.
At RxTechExam, we are committed to walking alongside the profession, not just training it. Education opens the door, but advocacy, mentorship, and leadership keep the profession moving forward. Together, we can continue to elevate pharmacy and support the teams and communities that depend on us every day.
Wishing you continued success,
