"...And Now A Word from Our Sponsors"

OSA sponsorship is completely different to traditional event sponsorship.

Our members are serious about investing in their businesses, and they are strongly influenced by the people and companies Conor and Optical Success Academy choose to introduce to them. 

That makes OSA sponsorship a far more powerful recommendation than simply exhibiting at a trade show.

What Is Optical Success Academy?

Optical Success Academy is a membership community for ambitious independent practice owners who are serious about improving their businesses.

OSA members:

  • Are proactive, commercially minded, and growth-focused

  • Regularly invest in education, coaching, and live events

  • Follow a shared philosophy around practice growth and long-term thinking

At our events, members have invested well over £1,500 to attend, which means the people in the room are committed, engaged, and actively looking to improve their practices.

Why Sponsor Optical Success Academy?

We only invite sponsors who we can wholeheartedly recommend and who are aligned with our philosophy.

This creates a very different experience from a traditional trade show:

  • Sponsors are treated as attending guests, not suppliers

  • You are included in every aspect of the conference

  • There is no separate exhibition hall or sea of competing suppliers

  • Sponsorship numbers are deliberately limited/

This ensures you are never lost in the crowd and are fully integrated into the event.

Who Is In Room?

The OSA group is made up of ambitious independent practice owners who:

  • Are used to investing in their businesses

  • Are open to new ideas and new partnerships

  • Value trusted recommendations

Through the monthly “look over my shoulder” format of the OSA programme and regular communication, members are strongly influenced by the recommendations made within Optical Success Academy.

That responsibility is taken seriously, which is why OSA only works with partners who are aligned with its philosophy and approach.

The Optical Entrepreneur Podcast

Sponsors also have the opportunity to feature on Conor’s Podcast The Optical Entrepreneur, extending reach beyond live events.

In addition to the OSA audience in the room, sponsors are exposed to Conor’s wider audience of independent practice owners who receive his weekly email and listen to the podcast, an audience of over 2000 independent optical practice owners,  which has been built steadily over more than ten years.

A Partnership, Not a Placement

OSA sponsorship is selective by design.

Each partnership is built on trust, shared values, and long-term alignment. Sponsors are chosen carefully and introduced intentionally, ensuring they are speaking to the right people, in the right environment.

This approach creates a very different experience from traditional sponsorship and allows relationships to develop naturally and meaningfully with the OSA audience.
