Dear Colleagues,
I have often heard colleagues say the profession of optometry chooses us rather than us choosing optometry. Many of you may have the
same sentiment, I know I do. However, we all make the choice to be members of the American Optometric Association (AOA) for many
reasons. And they are all rooted in the fact that we can do so much more united together. The optometric family is stronger than ever, and
Optometry’s Meeting®, the annual meeting of the AOA and the American Optometric Student Association (AOSA), is THE time for all of us—
doctors of optometry, students and paraoptometrics—to recharge and re-engage with our colleagues, our passions and our opportunities.
This year, let’s meet in St. Louis, Missouri, the city AOA and AOSA call home. We want to invite everyone to kick off the festivities at AOA
headquarters on Wednesday with a Block Party—I can’t think of a better way to get started than to get together and enjoy live music, craft
beer, food trucks, interactive events and more! Saturday afternoon, everyone will celebrate together at Cardinals Nation, the first-ever sports-
anchored entertainment district. This event will be unlike any other—with free food and drinks and a bird’s-eye view of the St. Louis Cardinals
baseball game. Of course, we have some unforgettable activities to fill your time between events at the meeting, when we can all LEARN,
LEAD and CONNECT.
LEARN. Earn an unprecedented 43 hours of CE credits. We are offering two surgical procedures certification courses: Advanced Surgical
Procedures and Laser Procedures. Our new education theater in the Exhibit Hall will host one-hour courses for credit on a variety of topics.
LEAD. Optometry’s Meeting allows every participant to partner with the AOA, our association, to be a stronger, more effective advocate for
our profession. Participate in the House of Delegates and help lead the advancement of optometry’s priorities or attend public sessions to
become informed and get involved. We are building on AOA+ successes and helping students and new graduates become leaders of the
future through three AOA+ Leadership Link activities.
CONNECT. It can be a challenge to fit everything into your schedule, and that’s why Optometry’s Meeting brings it all together—in one
place—for you. Meet with industry leaders in the Exhibit Hall and connect with colleagues, leaders and mentors across five full days of events.
We invite you to make plans now to join us in St. Louis in June. Don’t miss this chance to be part of optometry’s future!

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS!
St. Louis holds a remarkable place in the history of the U.S. as the Gateway to
the West. Today it’s a city that keeps making the trademarked lists of the best of
everything in America.
It's not just a great place to live; it's ranked as one of America's most popular
places to visit. St. Louis has all you could want in a city—world-class museums,
green spaces, live music, sports and exciting new restaurants. It’s also
affordable—the country’s top-rated zoo, the St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri
History Museum, Science Center and many more attractions are free. Even The
Muny theater has free seats for every performance. There are unique attractions:
the City Museum, which is like “Alice in Wonderland” come to life, the Magic
House, the Blues Museum and iconic neighborhoods such as the Delmar Loop.
Centrally located in America’s heartland, St. Louis is an easy drive or quick
flight away. The airport is just minutes from downtown and America’s Center
Convention Complex. The tallest monument in the U.S., the Gateway Arch, is just
steps away from America’s Center. An impressive view from the ground up, it is
even more stunning to see the view from the top down. With the new museum
and expanded Gateway Arch National Park, it’s a more integral part of the city
experience and underscores St. Louis’ appeal as a legit American playground.
St. Louis is home to the AOA and AOSA, and we invite you to visit our remarkable
city. Turn the page to see what else awaits you in St. Louis!

Optometry’s Meeting has built some free time into our Exhibit Hall schedule that does not compete with CE, plus this year there will
be CE for credit in the hall! We will offer five one-hour courses for credit in our new education theater. For the first time, three ePoster
sessions in the hall will offer COPE credit. The hall will be closed Saturday, so you can spend your day in CE.
