2008 CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE
  
The total registration for the 2008 conference was 550. Each year the conference works to serve more and more interested ophthalmologists, general practice DVMs, residents, interns, technicians, etc.

The exhibitor registration was 60 booths this year (54 - 2006, 48 - 2005, 42 - 2004, 38 - 2003, 32 - 2002, 28 - 2001). Unfortunately we had to turn 3 exhibitors away due to space limitations. We are attempting to expand our exhibit hall each year to accommodate more companies. It appears our exhibitors are enjoying their networking opportunities with our "decision-making" attendees.

Thanks to everyone who attended!
