Dear IACLE Members,

A reminder that travel stipends are reviewed on a first come, first served basis, so we encourage those wanting to apply for a stipend to send in your applications as soon as possible. The stipend will depend on distance and flight costs. For example, if you are travelling from Asia, your stipend may be higher than if you are travelling from Europe. Applications for travel stipends close on 31 January 2023.

The registration cost, including participation in the plenary and workshop sessions, hotel accommodation, lunch on all four days, gala dinner ticket and luxury coach travel to the BCLA in Manchester, will be covered for all registered IACLE members.
IACLE members will also receive an exclusive registration rate for the BCLA’s 2023 Clinical Conference & Exhibition (full registration rate is £750, and IACLE members pay £500). Registration for the BCLA opens in early 2023.
Hosted at Conference Aston in Birmingham, UK, the World Congress will take place from 5-8 June 2023 and is timed to precede the British Contact Lens Association’s 2023 Clinical Conference & Exhibition in Manchester (9-11 June 2023). IACLE members’ participation will be facilitated by the generous support of industry partners sponsoring the workshop sessions: Platinum Sponsor Alcon, Gold Sponsor CooperVision, Silver Sponsor Johnson & Johnson and Bronze Sponsors Bausch + Lomb, Ophtecs and Menicon.
The theme of the congress is Contact Lens Education for the Practitioner of the Future. The four-day meeting will combine hands-on workshops with plenary sessions, networking opportunities, and social events. Delegates will gain direct exposure to the latest technologies to take back to their institutions and incorporate into their teaching.
All questions regarding registering for WC4 should be directed to IACLE Chief Executive Officer Bonnie Boshart at b.boshart@iacle.org.
