State and local government elected officials, law enforcement as well as critical partners within the pharmaceutical industry (manufacturers, distributors, reverse distributors, pharmacies, and hospitals), industry associations, as well as waste management and environmental advocates, are cordially invited to attend and participate in the Summit (Click here for the Agenda).
