Email John for information.
These events are for all the many arms of the eye care professions from around the world. Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, Orthoptists, Optical Dispensers, General Practitioners, Pharmacists and ancillary staff would all gain educational value, broadened experience and networking value from the event. We sometimes get insulated in our arm of the eye care profession and the event is all about relaxing in a beautiful environment with a common denominator of skiing and sharing ideas with members of our various professions. I'm more than happy for friends and family to come along for the experience.
I've been successfully running these events all around the world since 2005. I know how to put a fun, worthwhile event together for your enjoyment.
For 2026 I’ll be running a conference in Japan, at Rusutsu Resort & Convention Centre on the northern island of Hokkaido. It's a ski-in, ski-out venue and will start Monday, March 9th. This is usually a great time to ski Hokkaido, with reduced crowds and a massive snow base. It fits in nicely before Easter and avoids the busy Chinese New Year period. The access airport is New Chitose [Sapporo]. There are regular bus shuttles from there to the venue. As with all my conferences, this runs over 7 days/nights. They are a lot of fun and good for your work/life balance. Send an email to me
I hope you can make it!
