Super Sunday Conference to Unite Optical Industry Leaders at ODMAFair25
The Optometry New South Wales/ACT branch (ONSW/ACT) Super Sunday Conference is set to take place on June 29, 2025, in collaboration with ODMAFair25. This event, hosted at the Sydney Showground, aims to bring together industry professionals and stakeholders to discuss the latest trends and innovations in the optical and eyewear sectors.
Participants can look forward to a dynamic program featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. The conference will cover various topics relevant to the optical industry, providing valuable insights and fostering connections among attendees.
ODMA CEO, Amanda Trotman stated that she is “very focused on collaboration that assists like-minded optical organisations to work together to stage these valuable live events whilst simultaneously reducing overall overheads given the economies of scale and the high cost of staging live events. These events running alongside each other helps attract attendance to all the components, which benefits us all.” Amanda went on to say, “This is an important achievement that always takes a bit of pre-planning on everyone’s part. However, it will provide great outcomes for event attendees, exhibitors and all event stakeholders alike.”
Andrew McKinnon, CEO of ONSW/ACT, stated, “Putting ODMAFair and Super Sunday together under the ICC roof gives optometrists from all over Australia the best possible reason to spend the weekend in Sydney. ODMAFair is, of course, the premier optical fair in the southern hemisphere, and Super Sunday provides optometrists with an unparalleled opportunity to obtain a significant number of their CPD hours in a single day. The conjunction of the two events within the ICC means that delegates can move easily between both at their leisure and, quite literally, enjoy the best of both worlds!”
Amanda Trotman commented that “a lot of work was going into the program format to ensure streams and sessions did not conflict with each other, that there were sessions for all team members within a practice and that there was ample time for all visitors to explore what will be a large and valuable product and service showcase in the nearby trade fair halls.“
The collaboration with ODMAFair25 enhances the conference's appeal, coinciding with one of Australia's largest optical trade shows. This partnership is expected to attract a diverse audience, including optometrists, retailers, and suppliers, all eager to engage with industry leaders and explore new business opportunities.
