This year’s event brought the IDOC community together for strategy, perspective, and practical ideas independent practices could take home and put to work. Watch the 2026 recap, then keep going to see what’s next for Denver.
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.
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.
