Independent Capabilities Forum 2026

Exclusively for CPA Members

This four-day event is going to be packed with new business opportunities, workshops to start implementing new solutions or services, networking time and playbooks to leverage the successes of your peers for your business, exclusive exhibitor opportunities, and more. It’s the can’t-miss pharmacy event of the year.

Your ICF Planned Events

CEO Jay Blackburn and COO Amanda Rieger will take to the stage to kick off ICF 2026, getting you excited for what’s to come over the four days. They’ll focus on key opportunities and how to harness $50,000+ to bring back to your pharmacies. Better than that, you’ll also get the implementation strategies and playbooks to make it happen. You’ll also get the scoop on key networking opportunities during the event and how many points you’ll score if you can find CFO Tom Marten.

Next up, you’ll hear an energizing keynote from successful multi-store owner, pharmacist, speaker, and fellow CPA member, Jay Phipps, the Pharmacy Gladiator. We’ll hear from him on how to move past obstacles to pursue new opportunities, strengthen ourselves, our teams, and our businesses. As we focus ICF on new opportunities to expand pharmacy services, adopt new solutions, and support your communities, this mindset and Jay’s leadership skills will be critical to translate the excitement from the event into action back in our stores.

We'll also be introducing a new and exciting event. Most of you have seen or heard of Shark Tank – where eager entrepreneurs get to pitch their ideas to a panel of “Sharks” to get funding for their businesses. We’re putting a spin on this and hosting “Pharmacy Sharks” at ICF. You'll get to vote for the best idea that is pitched by your peers, and the winner will receive a $10,000 prize.
