The SAOA is proud to announce that we will be commemorating our 100 Year Anniversary on March 31, 2024. To honour this significant milestone in our organization’s history, we are delighted to invite you to a grand conference taking place on July 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2024 at the prestigious Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, Gauteng.

This conference promises to be an exceptional opportunity for optometrists and dispensing opticians to engage with esteemed international and national speakers. Over the course of three days, our comprehensive educational program will offer delegates the chance to attend presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and poster presentations, all of which will be CPD accredited. Whether you choose to attend all three days or select specific days, you will undoubtedly benefit from the wealth of knowledge and expertise shared.

In addition to the enriching educational sessions, the conference will feature an expansive exhibition area showcasing the latest advancements in technology from various suppliers and stakeholders in the eye care industry. We strongly encourage practitioners to register their practice staff members, allowing them to attend presentations and explore the exhibition, ensuring they stay up to date with the cutting-edge developments in their field.

Furthermore, this conference will provide ample opportunities for delegates to network and socialize with their peers and industry leaders. On the evening of July 19th, the SAOA will host a glamorous Gala Dinner, where we will recognize outstanding practitioners through an awards ceremony, followed by an evening of delectable cuisine and captivating entertainment.

To stay informed about all the latest updates and developments, we encourage you to regularly visit our website and follow our social media pages. We look forward to welcoming you to this momentous event as we celebrate a century of excellence in the field of optometry and dispensing optics.
