82nd Annual Conference of the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS)

Respected Seniors and Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure and privilege to warmly welcome you to the 82nd Annual Conference of the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS), which will be held from 14th to 17th March 2024 at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre (BBCC), Newtown in Kolkata. The host OSWB (Ophthalmological Society of West Bengal) has embraced the fraternity of ophthalmologists in Eastern India states and they have all come together as ‘LOC of the East’ to give you a memorable experience to carry back home.

In the ever-changing field of ophthalmology, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is most crucial to ensure that all ophthalmology practitioners stay updated with the latest in clinical knowledge and surgical skills. Therefore, in order to stay relevant and competent, AlOC 2024 (All India Ophthalmological Conference 2024) promises to offer the tested and effective means - bringing together the brightest minds in the field of ophthalmology and learning with them by engaging intensely during all 4 days of the conference, both in-session and one-to-one. What better way than this of interactive and participatory CPD / CME.

So, come friends and immerse yourselves in an exceptional academic experience curated with utmost care keeping you – the Delegate, in mind. Gain from the knowledge-sharing and skill transfer opportunities! Profit from the peer-networking and trade bargains!! Experience fulfilment and happiness from the enriching memories that you carry home from AIOC 2024 Kolkata!!!

Kolkata has always been a thriving metropolis, which has something to offer for each one of you. From its colonial architectures with cobble-stone paved pathways in the hitherto commercial centre of Esplanade to the shiny glass and steel façades of tall structures in the upcoming and happening Newtown – the city is known to grow on you, in a charming way of its own. You may choose to experience the more sedate pleasures of its temples, museums and art galleries or you may thrive in the kaleidoscope of its shopping malls, clubs and the promenade. It is hard to miss the symphony in the diverse fare of this culturally-rich melting pot that is the city of joy - Kolkata.

Members of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) are eagerly waiting to greet you and your family at the conference and are working hard to make your visit hassle-free and meaningful. I am sure many of your friends are awaiting this opportunity to connect physically with you once again. I am also looking forward to meet you personally during AIOC 2024 Kolkata.

On behalf of Team LOC of the East, I wish you all a great conference and a wonderful time here. Come let us help ‘Envisioning the Future Together’.

With warm regards,

Dr Subhasish Nag
Organizing Secretary, AIOC 2024
