The NJSOP hosts multiple live webinars and in-person programs each year in addition to offering over 30 hours of on-demand CE via our online CE portal. Members save up to 150% on registration fees!

Snow School is a family and/or escape weekend-focused event held at Kalahari Resort in the Poconos each January. Registrants have the chance to earn a days-worth of continuing education credit before they meet their family or friends in the indoor waterpark, spa, or on-site restaurants.

Spring CE has been recently held virtually over a weekend. The great education typically draws a crowd of over 100 ODs. Join us, and learn from the comfort of your home!

Summer CE takes place at The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ. This early July CE opportunity is limited to 100 ODs and features our Diamond-level partners, only. Attendees enjoy a view of the beach from the Breaker’s wrap around front porch during breaks and lunch.

Therapy by the Sea is the NJSOP’s largest annual event held in Atlantic City, NJ in the fall. Therapy by the Sea (TBTS) offers multiple days of continuing education, a large exhibit hall, and a variety of social events for colleagues and friends to reconnect. It is also a great opportunity to meet new peers and make new friends! Past TBTS conferences have offered hands-on workshops for both optometric physicians and paraoptometrics, making this event a big draw for both local ODs and colleagues from around the country.

Managed Care Seminar rounds out the year in December and focuses on practice management. This event is also home to the NJSOP’s year end awards celebration! This year it will be held at the Pines Manor in Edison, NJ.
