Sponsors Conference Sponsorship and Planning The Midwest Pharmacy Residents Conference rotates between major cities in the 13 states that currently make up the Midwest region. Funding for the program comes predominantly from industry sponsorship. Each year a committee from the host city plans the conference dates, schedule and location and elicits funding for the conference from industry sponsors. The national planning committee is responsible for overseeing the conference from year to year and assisting in the planning and fund raising. 2008 Sponsors Gold Sponsors: ($5,000 - $7,499) Amgen Silver Sponsors: ($2,500 - $4,999) Genentech Copper Sponsors: ($1,000 - $2,499) Academic Institutions University of Missouri University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Kansas University St. Louis College of Pharmacy Creighton University University of Nebraska Medical Center 2007 Sponsors Gold Sponsors: ($5,000 - $7,499) Amgen Silver Sponsors: ($2,500 - $4,999) GlaxoSmithKline Copper Sponsors: ($1,000 - $2,499) PDL BioPharma, Inc.
