“Vision Expo is where we see companies truly rolling out the red carpet for everything from launching news and showcasing product, to highlighting leadership and product development from top to bottom,” declared Tom Loughran, VP, International Vision Expo & Conference. “This conference caters to the attendee offering something for everyone and providing an experience unlike any other,” he said.

The continued growth and success of Vision Expo is evidenced by the growing Affiliate Partner program, more the 200 hours of special events, 350+ hours of CE and the new pavilion dedicated just for these sessions, show organizers said.

Continuing education got off to an early start on Wednesday with the first-ever, two-day Global Contact Lens Forum hosted by Vision Expo East and the British Contact Lens Association.  “It’s been an overwhelming success,” said Kirk Smick, OD, Conference Advisory Board Co-Chair.  “What we did was, we put together education that helped doctors run a business in their contact lens practice and it’s so successful we mixed it with the scientific data from the BCLA people.”
