New Reduced Room Rate at the Westin!!



Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2009 Mountain West Council of Optometrists Annual Congress once again held in fabulous Las Vegas. This year’s meeting will be held from April 23-25 at the beautiful Westin Las Vegas Hotel, Casino, and Spa. The Westin has reserved a limited number of guest rooms at a discounted rate for our attendees so please register early to ensure your reservation at the hotel.

The educational program at MWCO is, as usual, second to none. Your registration provides you with the opportunity to receive up to 24 hours of top quality optometric education. To maximize the value of your educational dollar, your registration also includes three breakfast seminars and three lunches in the exhibit hall. We have invited experts in optometry as well as experts in ophthalmology to provide education in contact lenses, cataract and refractive surgery, and various aspects of ocular disease from the eyelids to the retina. We are also pleased to provide you with courses on proper billing and practice management. You will learn not only how to treat the disease, but how to properly bill and get paid for your time and expertise. By implementing these tips, you will be able to increase your revenue enough to quickly make your trip to the meeting not just enjoyable, but profitable as well.

Along with the best educational program that optometry has to offer, comes the unlimited recreational opportunities that Las Vegas offers. From casinos to golf to dining to shows and nightlife, no other destination has the excitement that Las Vegas provides.

Come enjoy the wonderful spring weather of Las Vegas and sample the best of optometry at the Mountain West Council of Optometrists meeting this April. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely, Jeffrey K. Austin, O.D., F.A.A.O. President, MWCO
