Orbis at 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE Mexico!

The event, hosted by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, will connect leaders, delegates and changemakers from across the global eye health sector, in Mexico City, Mexico, June 25-27.

Building on the valued discussions at last year’s successful event in Singapore (see main picture above), sessions will be a mix of keynote addresses, engaging workshops, masterclasses, and roundtables designed to provide opportunities for participation, networking, and sharing experiences.

Expert Orbis representatives from across the world will take a deep dive into critical eye care topics from gender equality and innovative technology to childhood blindness and diabetic retinopathy.

Delegates will also hear from a number of "Rapid Fire" speakers that include Dr. Ha Nguyen and Ángel Allauca García. Dedicated pharmacist Dr. Nguyen is the Program Officer in charge of Cybersight at Orbis Vietnam, where she brings our free online resources and tools to eye care professionals in her home country. Ángel is a dedicated and talented Project Manager from Peru who designs and implements eye health projects across his home country.

Below, see the eye health topics that Orbis delegates will present at this year's event during break-out and lunch sessions.

Hear from Jennifer Tapia Boada, Orbis International, as she joins eye health experts for breakfast session Gender Equality at a Crossroads: Moving Forward or Falling Behind, on June 26, 7:45am-8:45am.

She will also be sharing her insights during Journey to Leadership: Harnessing Potential for Progress in Eye Health. The session, held in collaboration with The Fred Hollows Foundation, will take place on June 26, 11:30am-13:00pm.

Jennifer currently serves as the Project Coordinator for Orbis International in Bolivia, supporting in-country projects. As the gender champion for Latin America at Orbis International, her current advocacy work focuses on gender equality and women’s rights at both local and international levels, within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Following 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE’s successful event in Singapore in 2023, we look forward to meeting delegates in Mexico, and coming together to explore tried and tested solutions that will bring eye care for all by 2030.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to our partners and supporters, without whom none of this would be possible.
