Program rules and instructional course submissions for Escrs 2026
The official information sets submission rules for Instructional Courses. Course directors must secure written agreement from all faculty and provide a valid email for each speaker. Individuals may serve as course director for up to two submissions and as director or faculty in up to four courses, with limited exceptions where additional involvement adds clear educational value.

The official note states that roughly one third of instructional course submissions will be accepted. Declarations of interest are required for every faculty member and titles must not include company or product names to meet accreditation standards.
Exhibitor and attendee profile at Escrs 2026
The event targets refractive and cataract surgeons and health sector suppliers serving those procedures. This frames the exhibition area for companies focused on intraocular lenses, surgical platforms, diagnostic systems and specialized distribution channels.
Clinicians at the congress prioritize clinical evidence, regulatory clarity and operational support for integration into the OR. Suppliers that present clear clinical data and reproducible demonstrations increase their chances to engage technical buyers.
Practical prospecting advice for exhibitors and delegates
-
Set daily objectives. Identify the types of contacts you need such as hospital surgical leads, private practice decision makers or distributor partners and assign roles to booth staff.
-
Compile clinical and regulatory materials. Bring technical datasheets, published studies and regulatory documentation to address technical inquiries on site.
-
Schedule demos and short meetings. Offer brief demonstration slots and a simple form to book follow-up meetings. A 7 to 10 minute demo keeps conversations focused.
-
Prepare a structured follow-up. Create a prioritized lead list and a timeline for technical follow-up messages that reference use cases and trial data.
-
Use real-world evidence. Surgical video and before and after outcomes help clinicians assess clinical applicability quickly.
