The BCLA organises a number of different events throughout the year from the BCLA annual Clinical Conference and Exhibition that attracts on average over a 1,000 UK and international delegates to the highly regarded Pioneers Conference. The Association also offers members a series of practical hands-on workshops held both at the BCLA offices and in member practices around the UK.
BCLA events are run regularly throughout the year and give delegates great opportunties to network with other like-minded individuals and make connections within the optical industry and the profession.
The majority of events are open to BCLA members only, such as our Evening Lectures, practical hands-on workshops and the BCLA Pioneers Conference and Exhibition.
Sponsorship, speaking and exhibition opportunities exist at many of these events, email adminbcla@bcla.org.uk for more information.
