New Tool Facilitates Conversations at the ASCRS Annual Meeting

ASCRS is proud to bring Braindate to the ASCRS Annual Meeting. This new tool will help attendees tap into the experiences and expertise of fellow participants.

Braindates are one-on-one or small group conversations based on topics posted by you and fellow participants in the Braindate Topic Market. They can be used to brainstorm, solve challenges, and share expertise or experiences while meeting new (brilliant!) people.

Use Braindate to:

  • Take advantage of the collective knowledge of like-minded peers.
  • Connect with others based on shared interests and experiences in order to help you meet your goals.
  • Engage in meaningful conversations about issues that are on your mind and in your heart. 

Watch this video to see how Braindate works!

Two New Business Meetings. One Location. Major Impact. 

There’s still time to be part of two new business meetings, both of which are taking place Thursday, April 24, ahead of the ASCRS Annual Meeting.

  • SightLine at ASCRS: This meeting, from 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. at the Intercontinental LA Downtown hotel in Los Angeles, aims to strategize and execute a vision for the sustained financial health of ophthalmology. SightLine attendees will gain an understanding of the challenges affecting all areas of commercial ophthalmology and participate in the discussion and action that will ultimately lead to stronger financial performance in this space. Register online or onsite.*
  • Business of Interventional Glaucoma: This program will take place from 1:00–5:30 p.m., also at the Intercontinental LA Downtown hotel in Los Angeles. This meeting will give attendees strategies that will help enhance patient care and grow your interventional glaucoma practice. The Business of Interventional Glaucoma program will help you discover how early intervention can boost both patient compliance and your practice’s bottom line. Register online or onsite.*

*Crossover between SightLine or the Business of Interventional Glaucoma programs will be allowed with registration for one of the programs.
