SUMMER CONFERENCE '24 LINKEDIN CONTEST

Sponsored by 340B Health (Booth 816)

When: Saturday, July 6, at 10 a.m. ET – Wednesday, July, 10 at 10 a.m. ET

To enter the contest, you can do any or all the following activities on LinkedIn to earn entries into the drawing for a chance to win a $40 gift card:

1. Follow 340B Coalition on LinkedIn. This is worth one entry.

   
   

2. Post about your 340B story on LinkedIn and tag the 340B Coalition. This is worth five entries. Posts may discuss:
   • Patient care success stories
   • Ways your covered entity supports patients using 340B savings
   • How drugmaker restrictions are affecting your covered entity

     
     

3. Engage with fellow attendees’ posts. Reposts and engagements (“likes” and comments) are worth an additional entry. You must use #340BConf in reposts and comments to be counted.

Those just starting their 340B journeys can discuss what they are most excited about for their work or how they came into the 340B world. Follow the conversation online with hashtags: #340BConf, #Protect340B, and #Becauseof340B.

Sample post:

340B helped our clinic provide steep discounts on medications and treatment to Maria, a single mother with cancer. But recent drugmaker restrictions are threatening these vital discounts that enable us to care for patients like her. As a health care professional, I see every day how patients benefit from 340B — expanded care which costs taxpayers nothing. That’s why I am working to help #Protect340B and the patients who rely on it. @340B Coalition #340BConf

Rules

The drawing will be on Wed., July 10. We will announce the winners publicly, including on @340BHealth’s LinkedIn account. We encourage attendees to attend the prize drawings and closing remarks session to claim their prize. Winners who are not in attendance will receive an email from a 340B Health staff member notifying them of their prize.

We will select three winners randomly. Participants must tag 340B Coalition in posts and use #340BConf in reposts or comments to be counted. To be eligible, participants’ social media profiles must include their first and last names. Eligible participants must be registered for the conference, and each winner will receive only one prize. Exhibitors, sponsors, host organizations, and vendor employees/staff may participate but are not eligible to win a prize.
