Monthly Conference Exhibits The Chicago Ophthalmological Society welcomes the participation of ophthalmic companies at our monthly educational meetings. Support from interested companies plays an important role in the viability of these conferences, and in particular, makes it possible for residents and fellows in training programs throughout Chicago to attend as guests (no registration fee) of the COS membership.
Companies are welcome to have tabletop exhibits at the meeting which are placed in a very visible location. Exhibitors also are thanked by the program chair during the business meeting (immediately preceding the guest lecture). We limit the number of companies at each meeting, so you can be assured that your presence will figure prominently during the evening.
The Chicago Ophthalmological Society is the oldest local society for EyeMDs in the nation. Its monthly educational conferences are well known throughout the profession, and it is considered to be an honor to receive an invitation to speak. Six monthly educational meetigns are held during the year -- generally three in the fall and three in the spring. Attendance is very consistent ranging from about 70 to 95 practicing ophthalmologists, medical school faculty and residents.
