SILMO Paris will be held in conjunction with the Rugby World Cup and the preparations for the next Summer Olympic Games. Events that showcase the skills, desire for success and dedication of elite athletes from around the world.
For this new edition of SILMO Academy, it is important to offer professionals expertise in the field of optimisation.
For this reason, the SILMO Academy shines a light on Optimising Performance and Ensuring Success. This will be looked at from two perspectives – the performance of the eye-care professional and the performance of the patient. If, you, the optical professional are not successful, then you cannot provide the best services for your patients.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 30 & SUNDAY OCTOBER 1
FROM 1:00 PM TO 5:30 PM
– Free sessions available in French and English –
Paris Nord Villepinte
During the conference, professionals will have the opportunity to access the latest information, research and experience from leading international speakers who will aim to reflect the uniqueness of the optical sector, and its services and to provide all the keys to becoming elite practitioners.
