Exhibit Hall Programs

There are many reasons to attend SECO 2011,

but one of the foremost reasons is because it will

feature one of the largest optometric exhibit halls in

the world. Like no other, Optometry’s Marketplace

at SECO™ combines everything optometry

professionals need to deliver the best eye care

possible and build and sustain a successful practice.

The marketplace will be in the expansive Building C of the Georgia

World Congress Center. Our hall offers over 70,000 square feet

of exhibit space where nearly 275 leading industry companies will

demonstrate the newest in ophthalmic equipment, products and

services available today. Optometry’s Marketplace at SECO™ will have

the same floor plan as in previous years, however, the new exhibit hall

will have room for even more to offer attendees.

You don’t want to miss the SECO Wine & Cheese Reception on Thursday

afternoon. It’s free to all registered attendees. In addition, lunch again will

be provided by SECO on Friday and Saturday in the exhibit hall, so that

time is not wasted in search of food or in long food court lines. When eye

care professionals need a break, they can relax in the new Network Park, a

large seating area in the front of the marketplace designed for exhibitors to

meet with clients and attendees to mingle with colleagues and friends.

You’ll want to visit Optometry’s Marketplace at SECO™ all three days,

too. Known for its incredible Prize Program, SECO will be giving away

multiple prizes in the hall each day. Everyone will have a chance to

win. While in the hall, attendees also should check out the expanded

Advanced Media Learning Center. It’s another opportunity to learn the

latest in the profession.

Please join us in Optometry’s Marketplace at SECO™ this year. It’s a

value in the industry that you simply can’t pass up. You’ll find everything

you need conveniently located in one hall, on one floor. SECO 2011 will

take “CE to the Next Degree” and will inspire all who attend!

We look forward to seeing you in March 2011!

Sincerely,

Dale L. Morris, OD

Chairman
