MJH Life Sciences has announced its acquisition of the EnVision Summit, an annually-held continuing medical education conference for eye care providers.1 Held in Puerto Rico, the conference will be hosted within MJH’s Physicians’ Education Resource legacy portfolio and will be supported by Optometry Times and Ophthalmology Times, according to a news release.

“As we continue to expand our commitment to education in the eye care space, the acquisition of EnVision Summit allows us to build on the strong foundation we’ve established with our leading brands,” said Mike Hennessy Jr., president and CEO of MJH, in the release. “The summit and its hundreds of loyal attendees will benefit not only from our expertise in providing engaging educational experiences on cutting-edge topics, but also from new and expanded opportunities to help them address the rapidly evolving ophthalmic landscape.”

EnVision Summit Director and Cofounder Bonnie An Henderson, expressed excitement about what the acquisition means for the future of the conference. “I am thrilled about the possibilities that this acquisition brings for the EnVision Summit,” she said in the release. “With the resources and expertise of MJH Life Sciences, we will be able to elevate our educational offerings to new heights, ensuring that eye care professionals worldwide have access to the most current and comprehensive information in multiple channels to better serve their patients. I look forward to continuing as the program director to maintain the excellence of the content and faculty.”

Optometry Times has previously covered the EnVision Summit. In our archives, we have an interview with Henderson prior to the 2024 Summit, as well as conversations with Danica Marrelli, OD, FAAO, and Cecelia Koetting, OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO, the co-chairs of the optometry track in 2024.
