Our Fourth Conference

More than 740 attendees gathered at the Omni Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 25-27, 2025, for the fourth Crossroads: An Artia Solutions Conference.

We kicked off Crossroads 2025 at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville for our Opening Night Reception. We hosted 3 Crossroads Academy workshops (2 brand new!), 43 Speed Networking stakeholders, 33 speakers, 38 state pharmacy directors and staff, 7 advocacy groups, and 7 sessions and panels.

Our agenda focused on the Medicaid patient, which included crucial discussion topics such as perspectives in patient support, Medicaid and CHIP, VBAs, PDABs, and much more.

We also held three Speed Networking sessions with 43 stakeholders! Speed Networking is the most popular event at Crossroads. It’s our way of making business connections with Medicaid payers as seamless as possible. Our coordinators facilitate semi-private appointments between manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers, state Medicaid pharmacy directors, Managed Medicaid officials, and other Medicaid stakeholders.

Terri Kirby, Pharmacy Director, Mississippi Medicaid; and Kimberly Lenz, Chief Pharmacy Director, MassHealth; were awarded the 2025 Extra Mile Award during the Extra Mile Award Banquet on Tuesday, August 26. The Extra Mile Award is a special honor created to recognize former or current Medicaid officials and/or pharmacy benefit managers who have shown continuous effort in doing or achieving something above what is expected.
