Vision Expo West 2021 concluded on Saturday, September 25. The four-day event, which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Sept. 22–25 at The Venetian Convention Center & Expo, brought together thousands of members of the industry.
Vision Expo West 2021 featured more than 280 exhibiting companies across several distinct neighborhoods and offered cutting-edge continuing education as well as engaging programming. Additionally, The Suites offered attendees access to established luxury fashion houses and the latest exclusive upmarket boutiques in an intimate and unparalleled buying experience across the Venetian and Palazzo Hotels. Presented under the banner of VisionEd, Vision Expo’s education program offered more than 190 hours of education, ranging from the latest business strategies and fashion trends to patient education tactics and cutting-edge innovations. Returning to the Show, OptiCon®@Vision Expo offered an unmatched education program and exhibit hall experience for opticians, contact lens practitioners and ophthalmic allied professionals.

“We are delighted that we were able to bring the vision community together for a vibrant, productive and safe Show. Motivated attendees, who were present to make serious business decisions, facilitate transactions and establish dynamic relationships, brought an unparalleled energy to the Show Floor and the Suites,” said Fran Pennella, Vice President, Vision Expo at RX. “We are very grateful for the support of all attendees, exhibitors, partner associations and organizations who made this Show successful and are already looking forward to bringing the industry together again in 2022.”
