want to extend a very warm welcome to everyone attending this year’s ESCRS Congress. We are thrilled to be back to full size in one of the largest convention centres in Europe, with 65 meeting rooms and 50,000 square metres of exhibition space.

This new ESCRS interactive event brought together clinical and business experts from across Europe and other parts of the world. Sessions focused on the most urgent clinical needs and barriers to success in anterior segment care—and how the latest technology innovations may address the clinical needs within the next few years. Also on Friday, delegates were able to attend our specialty day events in paediatrics, cornea, and glaucoma. And we are just getting started. We have come a long way since our annual Congress in Amsterdam last year. There, we were happy to meet in person again but still couldn’t help but be preoccupied with the COVID pandemic.
