Ophthalmic Business Council

The purpose of the Ophthalmic Business Council (formerly the Corporate Advisory Council) is to bring together leaders from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and ophthalmic businesses, providing opportunities to exchange information and ideas, and by doing so, improve the quality of care among patients.

The Spring and Fall Symposia are a benefit of membership in the Ophthalmic Business Council (OBC) and are open to all members in good standing.

Learn more about the OBC and its membership benefits or contact Todd Lyckberg at 415.447.0361 or tlyckberg@aao.org.

2013 Spring Symposium April 10, 2013 Washington, D.C.		2013 Fall Symposium September 19 - 20, 2013 Palo Alto, CA
The Spring Symposium is a biennial event that focuses on reimbursement, FDA ophthalmic drug and device policies, and changes within CMS. Industry representatives who attend typically focus within these areas. This is approximately a half-day symposium. Unlike the Fall Symposium, Academy leaders do not attend this meeting.		The purpose of the Fall Symposium is to bring leaders from both the Academy and industry together to share mutual concerns and needs, and to monitor trends and issues affecting eye care. The Fall Symposium provides formal and informal opportunities to exchange information and ideas.
