Welcome to the ASCRS Tap Room
T
he ASCRS Tap Room is a whole new
way to engage in the Exhibit Hall of
the 2021 ASCRS Annual Meeting.
The Tap Room will be a bar-like
venue where attendees can meet up
for a casual drink (a signature drink will be
available daily), snack, and discussion. During
lunch (12:00 p.m.) and happy hour (4:00 p.m.),
the Tap Room will feature a schedule of educa-
tional industry presentations.
Attendees interested in industry educa-
tion can scan a QR code with their phone and
select the company presentation they want to
listen to on their own headphones. Seating will
be available in each session as well. Preregis-
tration for industry education, which will be
hosted by companies like Kala Pharmaceuticals,
Santen Pharmaceutical, Sight Sciences, Aller-
gan, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, and Ocular
Therapeutix, will be available to reserve a seat
because space is limited.
