5 – Exhibitors in the Vendor Showcase that will save you money, potentially much, much more than the cost of EastWest fees: Come prepared to competitively shop your materials, prices, cost of doing business such as insurance and much more.

4 – Are you ready with your Electronic Health Records? CliniSync by Ohio Health information Partnership (OHIP) is making its services available at no charge or reduced cost to ODs just like they have with family medicine. Learn more and save as you connect your HER with other health care professionals.

3- World-class Continuing Education for the Entire Office Team: Over 250 hours of practical problem-solving CE, featuring the likes of Melton and Thomas, Onofrey, Fingeret, McGreal, Sherman, Thimons, Bloomenstein, Marrelli, Gary Gerber, and many more. Bring your entire office team with you. There’s something for everyone!

2 – Networking opportunities: these only occur once each year in Ohio with OOA leadership and staff, vendors, classmates.

1 – Team building: Significant opportunities to team build. The staff that plays together stays together. See you at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame party Friday night.

There are few things more satisfying in life than working toward a common goal with like-minded individuals and seeing it through to a successful conclusion.

The 2013 EastWest Eye Conference, with its top-line educational programming and fresh new venue, established a new standard in quality continuing education. And it was fun!

Thank you to everyone who made it possible. Thank you to the diverse and gifted educators who spoke at our conference. Thank you to our impressively supportive exhibitors and sponsors. Thank you to the enthusiastic and dedicated individuals who serve on the EastWest Eye Conference Committee, including the dedicated and unflappable staff of the Ohio Optometric Association. Thank you to the entertainers who made the Friday Night Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Party a rockin’ hoot.

Most of all, thank you to our enthusiastic conference attendees. Your faith in us motivates us to continually raise the bar on the learning, and the fun, offered at the EastWest Eye Conference.

I’ll let you all in on a little secret. Plans are already underway to create an even more memorable 2014 conference. Don’t miss it. See you in Cleveland October 9-12, 2014!

With sincere appreciation,

Tom
