Two days that reset your year
Every year, independent optical professionals dive into the rhythm of their practice — appointments, emails, stock orders, team meetings. It can feel relentless. It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, focused on immediate tasks, without stopping to reflect on the bigger picture.
SightCare Live 2026 offers something different. It is more than a conference. It is a pause, a reset, and a chance to step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the reason you do what you do.
A fresh perspective
Spending time with peers from across the country, listening to speakers who have faced the same challenges you know so well, gives you perspective. Suddenly, the problems that felt overwhelming in your practice don’t seem so insurmountable. You gain insight into new approaches, and you see opportunities that were invisible when you were in the middle of it all.
Confidence to take the next step
There’s something about being in a room full of people who understand your world. The conversations, the shared stories, and the energy of collective ambition remind you that you are not alone. Networking with fellow members gives you access to practical advice, new ideas, and tried-and-tested solutions that you can bring back to your practice. Confidence grows naturally — not just in your professional decisions, but in your ability to lead your team, innovate your services, and deliver the care your patients deserve.
Renewed purpose
SightCare Live is designed to inspire. It reminds you why you became part of independent optics in the first place — the desire to make a difference, to offer something personal and meaningful in a world of corporates. Networking strengthens this sense of purpose. Sharing experiences with like-minded professionals sparks new ways of thinking, encourages collaboration, and reminds you of the wider community supporting your journey.
Returning refreshed, focused, and connected
By the time you leave, you aren’t just returning with notes from sessions. You leave with momentum, with new professional connections, fresh ideas, and a renewed sense of energy. Networking at SightCare Live creates relationships that continue long after the weekend — colleagues to turn to for advice, inspiration, or partnership. That single weekend can set the tone for your entire year.
SightCare Live 2026 — held at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham on 26–27 April — is your chance to pause, reflect, network, and reset. Take this time for yourself, your team, and your practice. Step into the event with openness, and leave ready to make the year ahead your best yet.
