What Makes OIS Different From Other Ophthalmology Events?
OIS is intentionally designed to be an intimate, highly connected meeting. The size of the event makes it possible to have meaningful conversations with attendees throughout the meeting rather than simply sitting in a large audience.
You’ll hear from leaders across ophthalmology, learn about emerging companies and technologies, and have opportunities to build relationships that continue beyond the event. After 16 years, OIS has also built a strong alumni community, with many attendees returning year after year.
