Inaugural APSPOS Congress News

Last week, our team organized the inaugural Congress of the Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Paediatric Ophthalmology Society (APSPOS) at Hong Kong Eye Hospital in Hong Kong. Typically, medical conferences have a "show daily," a daily newsletter in print and e-versions to tell attendees the highlights.

However, because this new event was rather small, we did not hire an outside team to produce such a publication. Instead, I put on my reporter hat and covered different aspects of the 2-day event, taking photos with my phone and writing articles (see Day 1 and Day 2). It was definitely a nice change from working at a desk all day!

As with all our other events, I also edited and proofread the final program book for this Congress. And, in the months prior to the event, I wrote the Congress newsletters and maintained the Society's Facebook page.
