Humphries Physician Symposium
The Humphries Physician Symposium is dedicated to providing the clinical ophthalmologist with opportunities to increase knowledge and competence related to the most up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and to reflect on how this information might lead to changes in their daily practice.
2026 Humphries - New Season and Venue
We’re excited to share that the Humphries Symposium is moving from fall to spring, with the next program set for March, 2026 at The Forum Hotel in Charlottesville. As part of this transition, there will be no symposium held in 2025. We’re looking forward to bringing everyone together again in our beautiful new venue as we continue the tradition of education, connection, and excellence in ophthalmic care.
