Conferences

Our live conferences offer eye care professionals the opportunity to meet their educational requirements, engage in knowledge-sharing sessions and build valuable connections with peers and experts, fostering collaboration and innovation. Additionally, trade shows introduce you to a wide range of medical resources, empowering informed decisions for improved patient care and staying up-to-date in their field. Digital learning is an excellent option, but there's nothing like meeting face to face.

Attendance & Cancellation Policy

  • Each conference will provide a date where no refunds will be provided. This is partly because the venue will have already allocated food and services that cannot be refunded. Cancellations before that date will be given a 100% refund.
  • Attendance is tracked and verified as follows:
    • We will scan your name badge at the seminar doors
    • You must be present in the seminar room during lectures for the length of time your accrediting body requires
    • As a general rule, there is time to use the washroom during a lecture but you should return immediately to the seminar room
  • Programs and presenters are subject to change without notice and some lectures may be pending accreditation approval
