How to Register

Registrants must have an Optica account to register. An Optica account using Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials are required to complete the registration process.

To ensure accurate pricing, registrants are strongly encouraged to use the correct account associated with their membership. Registrant are not able to log in using their Optica Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials and then initiate a registration with a different email address, as the email address of the registration and the Optica account must be the same; otherwise an error will occur and a registrant will not be able to move forward with registration.

Phone, fax or email communications from any other company or organization offering cut-rate, early bird pricing after the early bird has expired or complimentary, free registration for an Optica event or stating that they are a viable alternative to going through the official registration process, are not affiliated with the meeting in any manner. All registrations are processed through our website with the domain events.optica.org.
