Spring and Fall Congress Sponsorship Opportunities
With an average attendance of over 400 optometrists from across the state and beyond, NCOS Spring and Fall Congress sponsorships are a great way for companies to gain visibility!
All sponsors will be recognized in the society's onsite guide, conference website and from the podium at general session, along with other benefits listed in each description below.
Check back soon for our 2023 NCOS Industry Opportunities Guide for more information.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, contact Christy Santacana at (919) 977-6964 or [email protected].
Sponsorship opportunities are not available for any group that employs optometrists or ophthalmologists in North Carolina, with the exception of PVP-Prime Partners, who have the option to sponsor breaks and breakfasts.
