ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Student Optometric Leadership Network (SOLN) holds an annual conference called the Student Private Practice Leadership Conference to gather optometry students, practicing optometrists, guest speakers, and industry sponsors together in person for three days of learning and connecting focused around private practice optometry. Two representatives, traditionally the outgoing and incoming president, from every optometry school's respective private practice clubs will be invited to attend. Students can learn from other optometry schools' private practice clubs and connect with prospective guest speakers and industry partners to plan education and meetings that they will then bring back to their private practice clubs.
The Student Private Practice Leadership Conference is an invaluable opportunity for personal growth and provides great opportunities and resources to each school's private practice clubs.
