APOTS VIRTUAL MEETING – SOME FEEDBACK
The APOTS 2020 although was virtual but it was an excellent academic treat . It was so well coordinated that unlike other virtual meetings there was absolutely no time lag between talks and everybody was ready with presentations.
It was updating ophthalmic trauma in every topic sitting comfortably at home with a cup of coffee !
Three cheers to the organizing team from Nagpur !!
The APOTS virtual conference was BETTER THAN THE BEST.
EACH and every SUBSPECIALITY was very well covered by expert faculty.
I was very impressed with the way the entire 2 day conference was organised & executed.
Personally it was a very good learning experience for me and the same was the feedback from several participants. The topics were very unique and very practical as well.
Looking forward to be a part of APOTS webinars in future as well
I really appreciate the amount of hard work you have put in , the attention to details and the fantastic choice of content . The timing was adhered to so well which is rarely seen in mostly webinars . It was a mammoth job so well coordinated .
I really enjoyed it.
