A Private Dinner for Ophthalmology Practice Leaders at ASOA 2026
About Event
Running an ophthalmology practice today means managing more patients, more locations, and more operational complexity with a front office that was never designed for this volume. The missed calls. The scheduling bottlenecks. The staff turnover that resets progress every quarter. Everyone at ASOA is talking about it. Few are sitting down together to figure out what is actually working.
Confido Health is hosting a private dinner for ophthalmology practice leaders, administrators, and executives attending the ASOA 2026 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. No panels. No pitches. Just a candid, off-the-record conversation over great food and drinks with the people who live these challenges every day.
What we will dig into:
Where leading ophthalmology groups are finding real leverage in scheduling, patient communication, and front office workflows, and what is actually moving the needle on capacity, margin, and patient access. What separates AI that resolves patient requests end-to-end from tools that just route calls and create more work for staff. How operators running multi-location practices are making smarter technology bets without getting burned by platforms that demo well and deploy poorly.
Who is in the room:
Practice administrators, office managers, surgery coordinators, COOs, ophthalmology practice owners, regional directors, and executives running ophthalmology groups, ASCs, and multi-location eye care platforms. If you are responsible for keeping the front office running, the surgical schedule full, and the patient experience seamless across a growing ophthalmology organization, this dinner was built for you.
Your host:
Akash Vi R has spent his career helping over 1,000 healthcare sites solve operational problems and roll out custom, innovative solutions. He is hosting this dinner to bring together smart ophthalmology leaders at ASOA for a conversation worth having.
The venue:
Join us for an intimate evening at RPM Italian, a modern Italian dining destination in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s Mount Vernon neighborhood, known for its housemade pastas and shareable dishes. Just minutes from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the ASOA Annual Meeting.
This is a closed table reserved for a select group of leaders navigating the operational realities reshaping ophthalmology practice management today. Attendance is by invitation, and seats are limited.
If you are joining us at ASOA 2026 and want an honest, off-the-record conversation about what lies ahead, this is the room to be in. Come prepared to share what you are seeing on the front lines.
