Join your colleagues for roundtable discussions during breakfast Friday, 6:30am-8am. Attendees will be able to choose tables with posted topics where doctors with similar interests can share ideas, experiences, and techniques on these issues. After a set time participants will rotate to a new table with new topics of their choice. A moderator will explain and time the process on site. The number of topics and tables will depend on the number of registrants. Some possible topics include:

• Equine Intraocular Surgery
