British Contact Lens Association

17 February 2012

The British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) is offering 100 sponsored weekend packages for its 2012 Clinical Conference, to be held at the ICC Birmingham from 24 to 27 May.

This special offer, which includes one night’s hotel accommodation and a Gala Dinner ticket for the Saturday night, is available to BCLA members and non-members alike thanks to the generosity of the event’s 40 plus exhibitors.

To be eligible, applicants must be a full BCLA member and have not attended a BCLA Clinical Conference in the past three years. Non-members may apply by first joining the Association as a full member.

Available on a first come first served basis, the weekend package includes entry to the conference on the Saturday and Sunday, one Gala Dinner ticket for the Saturday evening and 3* hotel accommodation for Saturday night. The exhibition and Exhibitors’ Pavilion, which runs from 25-27 May, is free for all to attend.

BCLA President, Shelly Bansal, said: “We are extremely grateful to our exhibitors who have made this offer possible. The annual BCLA Clinical Conference is a very special meeting that attracts eyecare clinicians, researchers, contact lens opticians, students and ophthalmologists from all over the world – there is just no other event like it. We look forward to welcoming all past and new delegates to the ICC Birmingham in May.”

Applicants for the free new delegates package must be BCLA members, registered with the General Optical Council, General Medical Council or Irish Opticians Board and a resident of the UK or Republic of Ireland. The offer is not open to students or pre-registration students and will be withdrawn once 100 delegates have registered.
