OSI Symposium and Dry Eye Masterclass Thank You

by

Thank you to all who attended our recent symposium and masterclass event in London. We are grateful to those who generously shared their knowledge and experiences with the delegates in attendance.

The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, which has inspired us to start planning for next years symposium. We are pleased to announce that the event is provisionally scheduled to take place at The Copthorne in London, the same venue as before.

While we plan to follow a similar format to the previous event, we welcome any feedback or ideas that could enhance the experience for attendees. We strongly encourage early booking to allow us to maximise space and potentially expand the rooms we use.
