All SECO 2024 speakers are required to disclose relevant financial and non-financial relationships or lack thereof. They must, at the beginning of their sessions or presentations, include a disclosure statement. The purpose of the disclosure requirement is to promote transparency in the design, development, and presentation of courses offered for SECO CE credit. The provision provides attendees with a complete context in which to evaluate the speaker’s information. To report a speaker disclosure issue, stop by the Education Office or email us at education@secostaff.com. All attendees will also be asked to submit feedback from each course via our Verification of Attendance (VOA) system.

One hour of credit at SECO is equivalent to 50 minutes of actual class time. Additionally, attendees are permitted a 10-minute break during a one-hour accredited course. Please note, punctuality is crucial. If attendees join a course more than 10 minutes after it starts or exceed the allocated 10-minute break, they won’t be eligible for that course’s credit. This is not a SECO-specific rule, but a policy mandated by accrediting agencies, which we strictly adhere to ensure the credibility and quality of our education.

SECO’s special sessions have earned a reputation as a must-attend part of our conference, showcasing the industry’s most respected and influential thought leaders. These sessions, exclusive to SECO, offer an experience you won’t find at any other optometry gathering.

These extraordinary sessions cover a diverse range of topics and provide unique insights and cutting-edge discussions to enrich your understanding and expertise. The specifics of each session, including their unique topics, will be shared in due course.

Don’t miss out on these iconic special sessions. More detailed information, including times and dates, will be made available soon. Join us at SECO 2024 for these enlightening experiences that will invigorate your professional journey.

The Symposium Series comprises complimentary, non-accredited sessions generously sponsored by industry partners. Each of these informative symposia is accompanied by a free meal for attendees. Remember to pre-register, as spots fill up quickly and once capacity is reached, registration will close.

While pre-registration ensures your spot, on-the-day entries may be possible based on availability. We can’t guarantee entry for these walk-ins, but we do suggest attendees to join the standby line outside each symposium. This provides the opportunity for unreserved seats to be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, offering potential access to these insightful presentations.
