THROUGH THEIR EYES

The RWC experience told by past attendees

The Retina World Congress in May 2025 was an outstanding event. The atmosphere was excellent, and the beautiful location in Fort Lauderdale provided an ideal setting for networking and informal exchanges among colleagues from around the world. The scientific sessions were consistently of a high standard, with a broad range of topics and expert speakers.

Siegfried Priglinger  |  Germany
1st time attendee

Such a fantastic meeting with great discussions with industry panel (unique), novel clinical topics discussed at the podium and great surgical tips. Had the opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world and bond over our love of retina! One of my favourite meetings to attend!

2025 Attendee  |  Canada
2-time attendee

I really enjoy this meeting venue. It's right on the beach, a nice hotel, good food and facilities and a great city. The social events are some of the best and it's fun to meet people from different countries and to see how they do things.

Mitul Mehta  |  USA
5-time attendee

(I enjoyed) everything! Especially the diversity of countries that participate, the Retinaws module and the social events that let you engage with many colleagues.

Dr. Andrea Cárdenas  |  Guatemala
4-time attendee

Excellent scientific sessions and keeping it to one rather than multiple parallel sessions was refreshing and enabled a wider learning experience.
