Organised by the World Glaucoma Association and co-hosted by the Japan Glaucoma Society, this congress is the largest glaucoma meeting in the world, welcoming WGA member societies, non-members, ophthalmologists, vision scientists, allied health professionals, and industry partners from around the world. It is held in Kyoto, Japan.

Why attend here

Head to Kyoto in spring, when the city’s cherry blossoms frame the walk to the Kyoto International Conference Centre, set among forested hills. Between sessions, wander the Philosopher’s Path or visit Kinkaku-ji, then unwind with a bowl of steaming yudofu (tofu hot pot) at a nearby ryokan. The mild weather makes it ideal for exploring the city’s temples and gardens.
