Partnership Program
Being a North Carolina Optometric Society (NCOS) partner brings your company access to the eyes and ears of our membership and exclusive benefits at our Spring and Fall Congress events. With over 1,050 members, our marketing opportunities and logo placement on all of our various media provides your company with an extensive reach to optometrists throughout the state.
Our Spring and Fall Congress events are our signature annual conferences that bring together optometrists from all across the state, and beyond! All of our partnerships offer a complimentary exhibit booth at Spring Congress. Certain partnership levels also offer opportunities to exhibit at our special partners-only exhibit hall at Fall Congress.
Double Diamond (new for 2023), Diamond, Platinum, and Professional Visionary Partners have the opportunity for exclusive access to our NCOS leadership, with coveted face-time at our Executive Council meetings. Double Diamond provides even more opportunities for face-time with NCOS leadership and members.
Below is a list of our 2023 partnership levels. Check back soon for our 2023 NCOS Industry Opportunities Guide for more information.
