ABDO: unforgettable, that's what you are

Making yourself memorable to customers, creative thinking and raising the profile of dispensing were the parting messages at this weekend's Association of British Dispensing Opticians conference and exhibition.

Closing the conference ABDO president Barry Duncan urged delegates to take positive messages away and spread the word about the role DOs perform. 'Let's go away from here telling people who we are and what we do,' he said. Dispensing opticians had a big role to play in the future of optics and events such as the conference and exhibition were great places to learn new things and network with like-minded professionals. Looking forward to next year's conference at the Celtic Manor in Wales, he said he and the ABDO board would do everything possible to build on this year's event.
