From the WGA Executive Office
Dear IGR readers,
Registration and abstract submission for the 8th World Glaucoma Congress, which takes place in Melbourne, Australia from March 27-29, 2019, is now open! If you would like to actively participate in the congress, get ready to take advantage of our Express Abstract Review. This is a unique opportunity to have your abstract reviewed within two weeks after submission. Early notification allows you to benefit from the Early Registration fee, better deals on your flight and ample time to arrange your visa. Please find out more on how the Express Abstract Review works at the congress website.
Another great reason to attend WGC-2019 is the 11th Consensus Meeting on Glaucoma Surgery, taking place just before the congress starts on Tuesday, March 26. The Glaucoma Consensus is based on an assumption that groups make better decisions than even their smartest member. If you are interested in joining the Consensus Meeting as an observer, please let us know via your WGC-2019 registration. As a WGC-2019 delegate, attendance of the Consensus Meeting is complimentary. More information about the meeting can be found online.
To conclude, we would like you to get to know the WGA Executive Office a bit better. We will introduce you to someone on our great team in each IGR. Kicking off this new feature is our Associate Executive Vice President, Kaweh Mansouri.
Please enjoy this issue of the IGR. You can contact our WGA Executive Office if you need any information or have questions on IGR or WGA-related matters (info@worldglaucoma.org).
