TRANSCRIPT
We distinguish ourselves by being the foremost society for ophthalmologists and visual scientists to share their expertise, explore novel discoveries and most importantly, to renew the collective knowledge.
This year’s conference will showcase:
Live Surgery by Satellite Transmission
Two speakers concurrently on the same stage with two di�erent topics creating a �exibility to enjoy di�erent lectures at the same time
Interactive 3D Near Live Surgery for more Ophthalmic Subspecialties
Breakfast with Experts
E�ective integration of people through the Interactive Digital Voting System
Channeling questions directly to the moderator via Mobile App
Online Voting and more Debates
94% delegates in the 4rd EPOMEC 2017 ranked the conference among the Best Two Ophthalmology conferences in the Middle East. Furthermore, 97% of previous attendees are looking forward to attending EPOMEC 2018. This year, we hope to outperform and excel, building on our past success.
