Around 6,000 business event delegates will arrive on the Gold Coast this week as the city prepares to welcome the 2025 Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference and Trade Exhibition (APP2025), the largest pharmacy conference in the Southern Hemisphere.
Taking place at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 20-22, APP2025 will bring together pharmacy professionals, industry leaders, and exhibitors from across Australia.
APP2025 conference convenor, Kos Sclavos, said: “… This year’s conference will be one of the most significant in APP history. With the largest gathering of pharmacy students ever attending and following a year of significant impact in our industry, the future of community pharmacy is brighter than ever.”
Returning to the Gold Coast for its third consecutive year, APP2025 comes as the region begins its recovery from Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, the first to impact the city in over 70 years.
Experience Gold Coast executive director of events, Avril Harris, said she is thrilled to see APP2025 go ahead as planned, highlighting the city is getting back to business.
“The Gold Coast remains a safe, vibrant, and welcoming destination, offering hundreds of world-class experiences, and our industry partners are ready to welcome delegates,” Harris said.
This event is supported by Experience Gold Coast and the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland, which is expected to inject more than A$14.5 million (US$9.2 million) and 25,000 direct visitor nights into the Gold Coast economy.
