Wills Eye Hospital and the Wills Eye Alumni Society invite you to attend the 78th Annual Wills Eye Conference in Philadelphia. This year’s meeting coincides with a historic celebration — the 250th anniversary of American independence — making it a truly memorable occasion.
This year’s agenda combines dynamic case-based panel discussions, didactic presentations, and interactive sessions designed to deliver practical, clinically relevant insights you can apply immediately. The Physician Program features a distinguished panel of speakers, including our special guest, Dr. Glaucomflecken, who will present the Richard A. Ellis Lecture. We are also pleased to announce that Wills Eye CEO and Ophthalmologist-in-Chief Dr. Julia A. Haller will deliver the inaugural Kathleen Santa Maria lecture during the Technician Program.
Beyond the lecture hall, the conference offers invaluable opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, network with industry partners, and forge new professional relationships in a city rich with history and culture. We’re confident you’ll leave the conference energized, informed, and inspired. We look forward to welcoming you to Philadelphia!
