Registration and Housing Open for Members

Registration and housing are now open to Academy and AAOE members for this year’s Joint Meeting with the European Society of Ophthalmology (SOE). Even though registration is included with your member benefits, you must register if you are planning to attend.

Nonmember registration opens on July 9, so take advantage of this time to purchase tickets to popular courses or secure your preferred hotel.
