UPDATE T he ASCRS•ASOA Annual Meeting is not only known for the exclusive and en- gaging education, it's also known for its world-class Exhibit Hall featuring more than 300 industry exhibitors and exciting networking activities. Industry Spotlight Theater After a successful inaugural show- ing last year, ASCRS is once again showcasing the Industry Spotlight Theater, a series of physician-led, product-focused education sessions (non-CME) in the Exhibit Hall. These sessions will provide attendees with overviews and comparisons across several different ophthalmic product categories. A new addition this year is a series of Part II Sessions, which will take place on the after- noon of April 16. The Part II Sessions will feature industry representatives providing unique perspectives on their company's products in a lively panel discussion format. The Indus- try Spotlight Theater will be held April 14–16. Visit AnnualMeeting. ascrs.org for more information and a detailed schedule.
