Can I present a paper or poster at the annual meeting?

Yes, the American Academy of Optometry offers opportunities for members and non-members to present their research through papers and posters at their annual meeting. This is a great venue for sharing new findings, innovations, and advancements in the field of optometry. Typically, the Academy announces a call for papers and posters well in advance of the meeting, outlining submission guidelines, deadlines, and topics of interest. These submissions are usually subject to a peer-review process to ensure quality. Presenting at the annual meeting not only allows for sharing knowledge but also provides valuable networking opportunities with professionals and experts in optometry. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding specific requirements, timelines, and submission processes, individuals are encouraged to explore the official website of the American Academy of Optometry.
