The generic listing 'Professional Education Symposium 2026' resolves to Glaucoma NZ's Professional Education Symposium, a CPD-accredited one-day ophthalmic meeting held Sunday 2 August 2026 at the Aotea Centre, Auckland. Its 10th-anniversary edition, themed 'The Grey Zones of Glaucoma', is keynoted by Professor Keith Martin.
Glaucoma New Zealand holds its Professional Education Symposium on Sunday 2 August 2026 at the Hunua Room, Aotea Centre, Auckland, with an online attendance option. The 2026 edition marks the symposium's 10th anniversary and carries the theme "The Grey Zones of Glaucoma: Uncertainty, judgement, and decision-making in everyday practice."
The symposium is organised by Glaucoma NZ (Glaucoma New Zealand), a charity based at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Auckland. It is the organisation's flagship professional education day.
The programme is pitched at the full eye-care team: optometrists, ophthalmic nurses, technicians, GPs and ophthalmologists. It is a CPD-accredited event, carrying 6.5T (6i) CPD from Optometry Australia and 6.16 points (0.33 ethical) from the Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians Board (ODOB), with attendance certificates issued on the day.
The day runs in the Hunua Room at the Aotea Centre, a central Auckland arts and conference venue on Mayoral Drive, with free parking noted for attendees. A concurrent online stream extends the event beyond the room.
The headline draw is keynote speaker Professor Keith Martin - CERA Managing Director, Head of Glaucoma Research and Head of Ophthalmology at the University of Melbourne - who examines how AI-assisted optic nerve assessment, home intraocular pressure monitoring and remote perimetry are reshaping glaucoma diagnosis and management. The wider programme leans into fast-paced, case-based interactive learning, reflecting on clinical uncertainty and judgement in everyday practice. As a recurring, CPD-accredited specialist meeting drawing eye-care professionals from across the country into central Auckland, it is a compact example of the association- and charity-led medical events that fill the New Zealand MICE calendar.
