Dear Full-time Pharmacist, Pharmacy Manager and Store Support Colleagues,

We are excited to be coming together in person again at our 2025 Loblaw & Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacy & Wellness Conference in Calgary. We are committed to providing an exciting conference where you can participate in sessions and activities to educate, engage, and inspire you, along with ample time to network and mingle with your colleagues. This conference is attended by Loblaw pharmacy managers, SDM pharmacists, and store support offices.

This year, our theme is Engage 360°: Commit. Connect. Care. It highlights the comprehensive approach you and your team take in delivering exceptional customer experiences at every touchpoint. By focusing on the power of commitment, connection, and care, you ensure that each patient feels welcomed, valued, and appreciated. Through your dedication, you are strengthening relationships with Canadians, building trust, and elevating service standards, making every interaction a moment of respect and excellence.

The conference is on Friday, June 27 – Saturday, June 28 at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre, 136 8 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0K6.
