Countdown to Vision Expo East 2019

Vision Expo East 2019 is gearing up to take over the Javits Center (Education: March 21 – 24; Exhibit Hall: March 22 – 24) with a Show everyone can count on to meet their professional needs. Vision Expo East 2019 will feature the latest in fashion, technology and innovation as well as a wide array of educational programs all under one roof. Expanded educational programs at this year’s Show include content that fulfills all professional agendas. An inspirational and business-oriented program, developed by co-founder of Influenceology Roberto Monaco, will explore how to increase leadership effectiveness, eliminate a negative mindset and implement change to unlock leadership potential. Additionally, Michael Ward, MMSc, FAAO, will discuss the expansive innovations seen in the contact lens technologies of today and the future as a part of the contact lens track.

Travel deals negotiated by Vision Expo with Connections Housing make New York affordable through reduced-rate hotels and group rates. These deals are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis with the application deadline of Feb. 28.

Returning for the second time to Vision Expo, the OPTImum Retail Award will be awarded to an independent boutique retailer onsite. This award program allows retailers to showcase their products, storefronts, visions and stories to be voted on by a committee of top industry leaders and the entire vision community. The inaugural OPTImum Retail Award finalists were Atelier Mira (Brooklyn, NY), Eye Q Stylist Opticians (Holetown, Barbados), Spex By Ryan (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) and Todd Rogers Eyewear (Andover, MA). The voting process garnered over 5,000 votes from the vision community and was awarded to Todd Rogers Eyewear. This year voting will take place on Vision Expo’s social media channels in February.
