From SECO, to Academy, to Optometry’s Meeting and beyond, we have shared the importance of myopia control and early treatment with thousands of attendees who visited our CooperVision® Elementary booth.1
At the close of SECO 2026, we officially said goodbye to our popular trade show booth that showcased a mix of clinical science with a good dose of kid-inspired classroom creativity. However, as we retire CooperVision® Elementary, its legacy will live on through its books.
We are pleased to announce that we have donated more than 900 books that once lined CooperVision® Elementary’s shelves to The Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. The choice was an obvious one, since educator and former CooperVision 2025 Academy keynote speaker, Michael Bonner, teaches at the non-profit middle school.
“Providing these books to students at The Ron Clark Academy feels like a natural extension of the booth’s purpose,” said Jennifer Palombi, OD, FAAO, Director, Professional Affairs, Americas, CooperVision. “What began as a creative way to spotlight early intervention now continues in a way that supports learning and opportunity for young students.”
Since its debut at Optometry’s Meeting 2024 in Indianapolis, the CooperVision® Elementary booth has been a staple feature at trade shows and events across the United States. A new booth concept is in development and will premiere at Optometry’s Meeting 2026. Stay tuned! And we’ll see you in Phoenix, AZ at Optometry’s Meeting in June!
