Aug. 17, 2023 — Vision Expo West, the biannual eyewear trade show from The Vision Council and Rx, takes place at The Venetian in Las Vegas Sept. 27-30.
 
Eyecare Business will be on the ground, broadcasting live to Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube throughout the event to cover some key presentations—plus interviews with some of the eyecare professionals, celebrities, and executives who are working to shape the industry.
 
A steadfast feature of the optical show, the “neighborhoods” offer a roadmap, organizing the show floor experience to help you find what you’re looking for. New this year, Vision Expo West introduces three main avenues—Park Ave, Union Ave, and Focus Ave—further crafting a smooth, navigable experience within the neighborhoods with the added atmosphere of live DJs stationed at the Atelier and the main stage.
 
The Park remains Vision Expo’s premier showcase—immersive exhibits from the industry’s most recognizable brands, featuring their latest and greatest selections of eyewear. To peruse independent designers, locate the Union for an array of indie fashion and craftmanship from designers around the world. Within that neighborhood, the Atelier hosts a curated showcase from independent creators—products defined by fashion-forward style and distinctive artistry.
 
The Suites can be found on the 35th floor of The Venetian hotel, offering exclusive access to the latest collections from luxury fashion houses. New to Vision Expo West, Look East highlights recent innovations and trends pouring into the industry from Asia.
 
The Focus presents the future of eyewear, cutting-edge advances in lenses, contact lenses, and lens processing; business solutions and practice optimization; diagnostic technology; and more. Within the technology-driven neighborhood lies the Panorama, a focused view of what lies ahead for the eyecare industry.
