Good Morning,
On behalf of the Pennsylvania Optometric Association, I would like invite you to join us at our Annual Congress at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA from May 19-21, 2017. We are looking forward to an outstanding mix of education, business and exhibits, and hope that you will join us. Pittsburgh is an exciting city with outstanding sports teams, great restaurants and wonderful sights to visit.
Exhibit hours are tentatively scheduled on Friday, May 19 and Saturday, May 20. A detailed scheduled will be available in December. We’re going to pack the time with plenty of opportunity for you to interact with the attendees by providing food, drink and prizes in the hall. There will be no other activities planned opposite this exhibit time. We have been selling out our exhibit space the past few years and we expect this location to bring the same results, so we encourage you to register early.
We are also planning some great social events, including an outing to see the hometown Pirates play their Pennsylvania rivals the Philadelphia Phillies.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ilene K. Sauertieg, POA's Director of Education and Conferences at (717) 233-6455 with any questions, or via e-mail at . Sponsorship opportunities the meeting are also available; please see the list on our Business Partner brochure.
I look forward to greeting you in the exhibit hall.
Very truly yours,
PENNSYLVANIA OPTOMETRIC ASSOCIATION
Perry C. Umlauf, O.D.
