See also the program for Friday page 2. The meeting continues Saturday and Sunday as the usual E-KISS meeting and for this part of the meeting, I invite you to prepare and present a paper on vision and/or visual training, clinical or theoretical, although this is not a prerequisite for attendance. If you would like to present a paper, please let me know beforehand. It is OK to bring it upon arrival at the meeting. Papers do not have to be prepared as a formal presentation; they can also be suggestions to new or old procedures, case presentation, sharing of a problem case or introduction to a debate. A paper can be as short as 10 minutes. An interesting case presentation can sometimes call for a discussion lasting hours and lead to important Optometric insights. Even if you do not have a paper this year, your attendance is wanted participating in the symposium and the ongoing discussions will always provide for new and deeper insight into our profession. All necessary AV equipment including video-projection is available. If you have your presentation on Power Point or similar programs, just bring your own laptop or a USB memory stick. We will assist in setting it all up for your presentation. The Symposium will begin with registration Friday at 11:30 12:30; first presentation will begin promptly at 12:30. For those who choose to come Saturday, we have registration from 9:00-9:30 Saturday, the first presentation at 9:30 and the symposium conclude no later than 12:00 Sunday followed by Lunch.
