The OPTOMETRIC MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM

Dec. 5 to Dec. 8 Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club

Optometric Management Symposium brings together more than 400 optometric professionals who will benefit from about 50 hours of CE and an exhibit hall full of the latest from the industry. To help you plan, OM has compiled a listing of exhibitors and symposium information on the following pages. Exhibit hall hours are Thursday, Dec. 5, 4 to 5:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 7, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Friday from 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.

“OMS, a 3.5 day conference celebrating its 15th year, is the premier event for clinical, practice and retail management. Optometrists, opticians and staff attend for an unparalleled opportunity to learn, with over 50 hours of CE credit, connect with colleagues and grow their relationships with eye care suppliers — all while enjoying entertainment at Disney.” – Roger Zimmer, Executive Vice President and Publisher, Optometry

BEYOND THE COURSE TITLES

To help shape your agenda at the Optometric Management Symposium, which offers more than 50 CE credit hours to choose from, two of the meeting’s planners, Drs. Greg Caldwell and Joseph Sowka, offer some advice!

The best tool for planning your event is the website, says Dr. Caldwell: “Pay close attention to the days that have dual tracks, and attend the education that most interests you.”

In fact, mix and match your tracks: “There are multiple tracks that are designed so that an attendee can move between tracks to suit personal needs and tastes,” says Dr. Sowka. “Don’t think that you must stick with only one.”

Additionally, manage your time in Orlando.

“Don’t try to cram great CE with time at the parks,” Dr. Caldwell cautions. “Dedicate time for CE, and take advantage of the top-notch CE, reception and exhibit hall. Take advantage of the discounted room block, and stay a little longer to visit Disney. Disney during the holiday season is one of my favorite times to be there.”

Dr. Sowka agrees that it takes planning: “The education is world-class, but ensure that some time is left for the Disney experience before, after and even during the meeting.”

Drs. Caldwell and Dr. Sowka say they look forward to opportunities to meet business partners, speakers, colleagues and PentaVision staff, for example at the reception and in the exhibit hall.
