About the meeting
HOPA invites you to Save the Date for Annual Conference, March 31-April 2, 2027.
We're preparing for a dynamic conference next year and look forward to welcoming you to the "Gateway to the West" with the mission to Lead Boldly. Tucked along the Mississippi River, St. Louis is home to the world-famous Gateway Arch, the beloved Clydesdale horses, faithful Cardinals fans, and plentiful barbecue and blues.
We'll gather at the America's Center Convention Complex for HOPA's 23rd Annual Conference, offering you more than 30 credit hours of continuing education, relevant industry exhibitions, more than 20 sponsored symposia, and time for thoughtful connections with 1,700 hem/onc pharmacy professionals.

Our meeting is once again full three days – Wednesday, March 31 through Friday, April 2 – culminating with a celebratory closing reception on Friday night. Our full agenda and event website will be available beginning in October, and registration will open in early December.
