The British Congress of Optometry and Vision Science (BCOVS) is an annual conference, typically hosted as one of the UK universities that house an optometry degree course, and who are members of the Optometry Schools Council. Last year however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers needed to decide whether to postpone the meeting or take the plunge into virtual conferences and attempt to host it online for the first time in BCOVS history. As some of you may remember, the committee opted for the latter option and boldy ventured into the magical world of online meetings and attending conferences from their kitchens. Thankfully, as you’ll recall if you attended, BCOVS 2020 ended up being such a success that, in lieu of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 this past year as well, it seemed an easy decision for the new committee to host it online for a second time.The new committee this year comprised a self-nominated group of enthusiastic and professional individuals from across the UK who put so much heart, soul and energy into the online conference that it was impossible not to enjoy the virtual atmosphere (see Figure 1; the full list of committee members and their affiliations is available at the end of this article).
