Save the Date: Regional Optical Conferences Are Coming to You!

15 July 2024

ROC 2024 logo

 

This November, LOCSU is going on the road again with seven Regional Optical Conferences (ROCs) taking place across England.

The ROCs are one day events in each of the seven regions across England between the 12th and 23rd November 2024.

These will be held instead of the National Optical Conference (NOC), which usually takes place in November. Don’t worry though, the NOC will be back in May 2025 – details will be shared as soon as possible.

Each ROC will be built to reflect the preference, priorities and needs of each region and include CPD and networking opportunities.

The dates and locations of each ROC are below, and we’ll share further details on venues, the agenda and how to book as soon as possible.

East of England: Tuesday 12 November, Colchester

North East & Yorkshire: Friday 15 November, York

South West: Monday 18 November, Bristol

Midlands: Tuesday 19 November, Birmingham

North West: Wednesday 20 November, Manchester

London: Thursday 21 November, London

South East: Friday 22 November, London

If you have any questions, please contact info@locsu.co.uk. We look forward to seeing you there!
