The California Optometric Association (COA) presents the Monterey Symposium each year in one of the most beautiful places on earth — Monterey, California. This educational event provides a more intimate setting for earning continuing education credits and meeting with vendors than other larger, more intensive conferences. Small, but mighty — this symposium is filled with events and education essential to eye care professionals. The conference spans three days and offers over 60 hours of continuing education, targeting optometrists, paraoptometrics, opticians, and professional staff. In addition to extensive educational opportunities, this symposium features a busy Exhibit Hall and social functions that lead to plenty of networking with colleagues.
