IDOC Events

With IDOC, you never stop learning.

IDOC events are designed to inform, educate and inspire, whether you’re an OD just starting out in private practice or have been in business for years. We offer a year-round schedule of national and regional meetings, open to both ODs and their staff, that keep attendees on the forefront of clinical and industry developments, the best way to drive growth and stay competitive.

Just as important, IDOC events are powerful networking forums, helping our members and their staff connect and collaborate in new ways. Drawing attendees from across the country, our meetings encourage the open exchange of ideas and experiences, valuable peer-to-peer learning independent ODs can’t find on their own.

Featured Event: IDOC Education Series

A new monthly educational series featuring medical and practice management topics.

Private Equity Acquisitions: Are You Missing Out?

Wednesday, July 21^st at 7pm ET

As we come out of the COVID shutdowns, Private Equity acquisitions have resumed, if not increased the rate and prices at which they are buying up independent practices. What’s involved in selling to Private Equity? How are these groups able to pay so much more for practices? Are owners ’missing out’ if they don’t choose to sell now? Finally, how should you determine when and why to exit your practice?

Learning Objectives:

Understand the buy-side of how Private Equity works

Learn what’s involved in deciding to sell to PE

Have context for the impact on Private Practice Optometry

Learn three criteria for deciding to sell

What every owner can do today to secure their future

Attendees are invited to explore topics of special interest to independent practitioners—from workplace productivity to winning retail strategies-and leave with clearly defined action steps that can be put to work right away. Study Group Meetings are offered both in a live setting with a sponsored dinner at a local, upscale restaurant, as well as in a virtual setting over video conference, depending on location.
