A busy time at 100% Optical
|
|
|
Thanks to everyone who attended ABDO CET sessions and came to say hello to ABDO board members and staff at 100% Optical.
|
|
100% Optical 2017 attracted 8051 vistors across the three days (4 - 6 February).
The ABDO Arms, now a well established feature at the show, continued to grow in popularity and many people said "it always looked busy" - and indeed it was with visitors expressing interest in ABDO’s activities, ABDO College courses and Dispensing Optics.
The Dispensing Workshop, specially designed to accommodate discussion workshops and managed by Paula Stevens, ABDO's Head of CET, was a great success. Demand was so high that a number of additional sessions were added to the programme to accommodate the overflow of delegates wishing to participate in the ABDO CET on offer.

|
Next year 100% Optical will be held at ExCel London on 27 - 29 January 2018
