Optical Dispensers Australia (ODA) is thrilled to be collaborating with the International Opticians Association (IOA) for our biennial two-day dispenser conference, proudly sponsored by HOYA, to be held in Sydney, on March 7th – 8th, 2025.
Due to popular demand and given the success of our 2023 Conference in Sydney, we have created a new two-day program featuring international guest speakers, complimented by a generous, dedicated exhibitor space. On the evening of March 7th, our annual celebratory ODA Gala evening will take place, offering the industry a glamorous evening to network and celebrate all things optical dispensing. Â
Taking place in the luxurious InterContinental Sydney where heritage, wonder and contemporary flair collide,  the venue is renowned as one of the city’s prized icons. Set within the beautifully restored Treasury Building of 1851, and centrally positioned in the heart of Circular Quay, the event is sure to attract guests from across  Australia and beyond. During the breaks within the exhibitor areas, delegates will have ample opportunity to optimise their interactions with manufacturers and suppliers over complimentary refreshments.
Single Day and Two Day Conference passes are available, with discounted Gala tickets on offer when packaged together in a GOLD PASS.
