ESCRS to host third annual iNovation® Day this September.

After the success of prior ESCRS iNovation® Day programmes, The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is proud to announce the next ESCRS iNovation® Day in Barcelona, Spain, on Friday 6 September 2024 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, immediately prior to the opening of the main ESCRS Congress programme.

This ESCRS iNovation® Day will bring together doctors, corporate executives and financial community leaders from across Europe and other parts of the world to review the future of the industry. Sessions will focus on the most urgent clinical needs and barriers to success in anterior segment care and how the latest technology innovations may address those barriers and clinical needs within the next 5-10 years. The agenda will also feature projected 2024/2025 innovations, capital and commercial market changes, and reimbursement trends.

The faculty will be anchored by the ESCRS clinical leadership and will feature a balanced mix of doctors and global executives from established and emerging public and private companies. Unique perspectives will be shared by guest speakers from the European investment, regulatory and research communities.

The programme will feature focused panel discussions, up to 20 emerging company presentations, guest speakers and survey data on attendee and ESCRS delegate interests, trends and concerns. Additionally, the new session introduced in 2023 titled The Innovators Den: EyeCare Pioneers, featuring exciting concepts developed directly by doctors, will continue for the second year in 2024. Over one hour of networking breaks will also be included.

A new addition in 2024 will be a special programme section featuring CEOs of the largest companies giving perspectives on the future of the industry, and another unique section featuring the doctor leadership of the largest and most influential cataract and refractive societies across the world.
