Next stop: Denver

We’re heading to the Gaylord Rockies in Denver, CO for The Connection 2027. It's an opportunity to step out of the daily grind, get re-energized, and walk away with practical moves that support real practice growth. As IDOC continues to evolve, The Connection will too—with fresh ways to help you strengthen what matters most: your business, your team, and your long-term strategy.

Dates: February 11–14, 2027
Location: Gaylord Rockies • Denver, CO

We chose the Gaylord Rockies on purpose: easy to stay on-site, easy to plug into the community, and a great setting to step out of the day-to-day. The Connection 2027 will be value-packed with expert-led sessions, the latest industry insights, practical strategy, and space to network with people who get independent optometry. Pre-register now and we’ll keep you in the loop as the full itinerary is announced.
