SECO 2009 is The Education Destination™. More than just an idea or concept, SECO proves year after year why it is the meeting for optometrists, opticians, ophthalmic technicians, paraoptometrics and other eye care professionals. The theme for SECO 2009 is "Eyeway to the Future." As a leader in continuing education, SECO 2009 will prepare eye care professionals for the road ahead.

SECO will publish the SECO 2009 registration brochure in October of 2008. SECO distributes the brochure to recent SECO attendees and individuals who request a brochure from our website.

Individuals who have not attended SECO in the past but are interested in attending SECO 2009 may request a brochure online.

SECO International hosts a variety of educational content on its website, www.secointernational.com. One type of education which SECO publishes is online continuing education for optometrists, opticians, ophthalmic technicians, paraoptometric professionals, and other eye care professionals. Currently, SECO offers over 60 courses and 80 hours of continuing education, many of these education courses are COPE-approved.

Each course is viewable through an Internet web browser. Each course contains a visual component (resembling a slide presentation) and an audio component. During the course, users view slides as they hear the speaker's voice. Users may also navigate forward or backward through the presentation. At the conclusion of the course, users may participate in a multiple-choice examination to receive credit for viewing the course. Visit the education library today to check out hot course topics and popular speakers available online!
