verybody that felt a little bit bananas at the first ever CAKE & PIE Expo, please say “Aye”. “Aye”. Is it just me? I don’t think so. Well, that’s just the way we like it. And we have to say we’re pretty happy with how the first-ever CAKE & PIE Expo turned out. We got to bring together some of our favorite ophthalmologists from around the world, and also make some new friends from emerging societies and new markets. From starting the day with cool cataracts, to ending the day with a marvelous masterclass in managing myopia, Day 2 of the Expo had it all. We set up a video vault to keep you completely engrossed with reams of content about all aspects of ophthalmology, perfect for those locked down or looking for some light viewing before bed. The exhibition hall was bursting with virtual booths, and we hope you dropped by to say hello to the Media MICE team. (We locked a couple team
members in there and frankly, we forgot the login information to get them back out, so they’re probably getting lonely and hungry at this point.) As you’ve probably noticed by now though, Media MICE likes to get noticed and our outlandish costumes and quirky character is definitely a marketing Cont. on Page 7 >>
