Due to COVID-19, the VOA leadership felt it was best to re-schedule the VOA 2020 Annual Conference from May 13-17 to August 13-16, 2020. All registrations will be transferred to the new date automatically. Additionally, if you've made a hotel room reservation at the Hilton Norfolk The Main, your reservation will be adjusted automatically by the hotel. There is nothing you need to do at this time.
On behalf of the Annual Conference Committee and the Virginia Optometric Association I’d like to invite you to the 118th Virginia Annual Conference, being held in Norfolk, Virginia at The Hilton Main Norfolk from August 13-16, 2020.
This year’s conference will mark a significant time in our history as we celebrate optometry in the year 2020. Norfolk’s waterside harbor will serve as the backdrop to The Hilton Main Norfolk’s central location with a schedule of events throughout the entire weekend. The conference kicks off Thursday evening with events for Young ODs and Women In Optometry as well as industry dinners. Beginning Friday morning attendees will have the opportunity to hear from nationally recognized speakers throughout the conference. Enjoy the Exhibit Hall Friday evening and Saturday morning as we bring to you innovations in eye care. Saturday will begin early and end late as we celebrate our profession followed by the Saturday Evening Social. Enjoy the interactive workshops and rapid fire grand rounds along with “stay in your seat” promotions provided by our industry colleagues.
The VOA Annual Conference Committee looks forward to welcoming you to Norfolk, Virginia!
— Richard K. Lodwick, O.D.
