April 24 - 27 at the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit, Michigan.
The VSP Ambassador Meeting will be held April 24 - 27 at the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit, Michigan. The annual Ambassador Meeting is an opportunity for you to learn more about VSP Vision’s efforts to support doctors and the long-term success of the profession. We’ll provide updates on VSP Vision’s strategy, resources, and tools to support you in your Ambassador role. Your voice is vital. We’ve curated a weekend filled with opportunities to connect with your peers and feel more informed on industry dynamics, programs, and services that support the growth of private practice and the profession so you can commit to leveraging your voice in your role as a VSP Ambassador. You’ll have the opportunity to visit with your fellow Ambassadors and VSP Board members while exploring Detroit. You’ll also have access to VSP leadership who will be available to provide additional insights on key business initiatives and answer your questions. We are excited to engage with you all, recognize your contributions, and empower you in your role as a VSP Ambassador.
