Vision Institute Packs In ODs for a 20 Hour CE Marathon

The Vision Institute of Canada announced attendance of 335 for their Annual Conference November 6-8 in Markham, Ontario.  The conference packed 20 hours of high quality Category A Continuing Education credits, a Town Hall Meeting and Reception hosted by the College of Optometrists of Ontario, 6 hours of CAO approved Optometric Assistants Program, the Vision and Eye Health Book Store and Silent Auction, and not to mention a 3 hour jam-packed trade floor with 41 industry suppliers presenting their products and services.

Dr. Paul Chris, Executive Director of the Vision Institute was very pleased with the event, “Each year we’re able to attract outstanding speakers, and deliver an extraordinary program.  The feedback from this year’s event is very gratifying.”  Dr. Chris also appreciated the full support of the supplier community.  “Our booth space was sold out in April this year, and we couldn’t fulfill all the requests.”

An online photo gallery of the event is available at Events@Optik. (events.optikdigital.ca) to refresh attendees or to catch the atmosphere for those unable to attend this year.

VuePoint iDS Inc., were proud to support the Institute in its communication strategy as Official Media Partner.
