In Focus: Finding success

Over 600 delegates to SightCare’s first virtual conference logged into the specially designed web portal to attend the independent group’s business and networking event on February 28.

SightCare’s chief executive, John French, welcomed attendees and laid out the itinerary of interactive sessions and webinars for the two-day event. ‘While an online event can never replace a face-to-face conference,’ he said, ‘I do hope that this conference can help to get you together with colleagues.’

French’s hopes were realised throughout the conference as delegates made use of a suite of interactive features built into the virtual platform to ask questions, interact with each other and make comments. SightCare’s conference sessions received over 6,000 clicks on their watch buttons, showing the popularity of the event.
