Upcoming Events

EDSA Inaugural Catalyst Awards 
December 7, 2025 (6:30 pm-9:00 pm PST)

EDSA will host its inaugural Catalyst Awards at ASHP Midyear 2025.
​
The EDSA Catalyst Awards celebrate the people and partnerships driving meaningful progress in ending drug shortages. Each year, the Awards recognize those whose vision, commitment, and collective actions strengthen the drug supply chain, and expand access to essential medicines for patients.

This year’s theme, “Progress Through Partnership,” recognizes that true change happens when we work together. The 2025 EDSA Catalyst Awards honor the visionaries and collaborators whose shared commitment transforms partnership into progress—advancing the collective mission to ensure consistent, reliable access to the medicines patients need.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for an evening of networking, storytelling, and recognition, as we spotlight those who are shaping the future of medication access.
