What your colleagues are saying about SWCO:

"After attending national meetings for years, I found myself looking for a slower paced and  less crowded meeting. Somewhere I could still get quality education with friendly people all in one weekend.  The Southwest Council meeting in Dallas has been a perfect fit. "  - Tom Justus, OD, Malvern, AR

"My staff and I have attended SWCO many times and each year it gets better.  The courses are stimulating, education, up to date and ever changing to keep up with the times. The variety of courses are more than
enough to choose amongst.  In addition SWCO gives us a chance to refire and have some fun too." - Bob Consor, OD, Dallas, TX

"I have attended SWCO for about 20 years. They have First Class CE for both Doctors and Techs. It is a great meeting and you can get all of your CE hours at one time. SWCO also has the feel of your favorite Family Reunion. Y'all Come!" - James Simnacher, OD, Clovis, NM
