Optical organisations

Nathan Garnett, show director of 100% Optical, speaks to OT  about the show’s new dates, the potential changes ahead, and celebrating the profession after a year of challenge

Optometrists are encouraged to sign up for the National Optical Conference, which is being held as a series of virtual sessions between Wednesday 25 November and Thursday 3 December

OptiCommerce is running six webinars, which aim to help optometry professionals ‘build a better online presence’

Event organisers have cancelled the 2021 show as a result of increasing uncertainty surrounding travel restrictions and infection rates

The eyewear show has been rescheduled for June, with event organisers hoping that summer will bring safer opportunities for travel, ensuring “peak” international attendance

The optical show will be held from 8-10 May, after the Government announced that the restart date for exhibitions and conferences would be delayed

The October event will not be going ahead as planned, but organisers hope to instead deliver a roadshow of events throughout Europe

Organisers of the September event made the decision to cancel as reopening plans in the state of Nevada have been extended until the end of July

Cancellation of the event provides the industry with “much-needed security and clarity” say organisers, who pledge full support for 100% Optical as the UK’s major annual exhibition

Following the disruption and challenges brought by the COVID-19 outbreak, event organisers are preparing to safely bring the profession together
