100% Optical has announced the launch of its wide-ranging 2023 education programme, alongside a new process for delegates to book their places at the hugely popular CPD sessions during the show.
Championed by all the industry’s leading organisations, including ABDO, 100% Optical 2023 will return to its home at ExCeL in London from 25 to 27 February, featuring more than 200 exhibitors including Nikon, Mokki, Vava Eyewear, Strucktur Eyewear, Cylite Optics, Clearmed, Heidelberg Engineering, Vision, Marcolin, TopCon, Inspecs and more. The full exhibitor list can now be found online.
Details of the first phase of the programme have been released, and bookings will open in early January: priority access will be given to delegates registered in advance.
In collaboration with the Association of Optometrists (AOP), the event’s longstanding education partner, 100% Optical will once again deliver a world-class education programme, with the first release ready to view here.
The three-day show will see the delivery of the event’s biggest ever programme of education, with around 140 CPD sessions on offer across 11 different hubs. The sessions will include keynote lectures, discussion workshops, peer reviews and interactive poster trails. Key themes will include myopia management, advances in clinical imaging, including the role of artificial intelligence, and dry eye disease.
With content commissioned to meet the needs of all practitioner types including the wider practice team, the education offering has been curated to allow attendees to fulfil the requirements of their professional development scheme. A myriad of topics and opportunities will be available, with key elements including:
Main Stage
Saturday: Tim Cole will share his experience about the current fast-growing trends in OCT and talk about where we are heading with this imaging technology that has revolutionised eye care in the 21st century
Sunday: Elizabeth Lumb will explore what more can we all do to speed up the changes needed within the profession to slow down the progression of myopia.
Monday: Miriam Minihan will discuss the most common vitreoretinal conditions and outline how to recognise them, the degree of referral urgency and how they are managed.
AOP Lounge
A series of peer review sessions will take place across all three days and will also feature content delivered by CooperVision and Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Future Practice Hub
Will feature a range of clinical sessions across all three days in four distinct areas.
Dispensing Workshop
A broad suite of content will be provided to meet the needs of all registrant types including dealing with complaints, myopia management and highlight the role of the dispensing optician.
Optical Academy
This hub will host a packed schedule of activity including a session to showcase the role of independent prescribers, discussed-based content on the use of OCT in contemporary practice and a workshop on scleral contact lenses.
As well as the opportunity for personal and professional development, there will also be thousands of new products on display at 100% Optical, and advice on all aspects of running a practice will be available, looking at how businesses can prepare to take advantage of changes in an industry that is constantly evolving.
Visitor registration is now live for the largest optical event in the UK as well as entries for its renowned Love Eyewear Awards which close on 28th November ahead of the award ceremony that will take place during the show at the ExCeL London on Saturday 25th February.
