NEW YORK—The theme of Vision Monday's 2012 Global Leadership Summit, to be held March 21 here, is "Innovation Everywhere: Embracing Creativity, Rethinking Competition."

Registration will open soon for the 6th annual, day-long event and exclusive forum, geared to senior-level executives in the retail, professional, lab and supplier sectors of the optical industry. The event will be held at The Times Center, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., on the Wednesday prior to the start of Int'l Vision Expo that week.

"We chose the theme of 'Innovation Everywhere' to underscore the new ideas transforming communications, business, products and company cultures," said Marge Axelrad, SVP and editorial director of Vision Monday. "We’re pulling together a program of speakers from within and outside the industry to provoke dialog and inspire ideas for senior decisionmakers in 2012 and beyond."
