Show Organizers Announce Education Program Planned for Vision Expo West 2023

The Vision Council and RX, organizers of Vision Expo, announced the education program for Vision Expo West 2023, taking place September 27-30 at the Venetian Convention & Expo Center in Las Vegas.

The Show’s VisionEd optometry and opticianry educational programs, including OptiCon®@Vision Expo, will open Wednesday, September 27. Exhibits will open Thursday, September 28. 

“With accredited optometric, opticianry, and business education spanning subjects from disease diagnosis and management, to the latest in eyewear and contact lens fitting, patient engagement and marketing, we are proud to offer valuable and sought-after content at this year’s Vision Expo West,” said Fran Pennella, Vice President of Vision Expo at RX and co-organizer of Vision Expo.

This year’s education program will feature more than 320 hours of custom-designed clinical content organized by key subject areas, including common eye diseases, optical technology, allied health, contact lens, practice management and business solutions. Attendees will learn from experts in the industry as they unveil ground-breaking technology and speak to the latest trends in diagnosing and treating common eye diseases. 

In addition to the latest clinical offerings, Vision Expo West will offer actionable, business-focused courses highlighting ways to strengthen leadership, culture and profitability with topics ranging from customer experience to human resources. Each course will provide attendees with practical solutions designed for immediate implementation.

OptiCon®@Vision Expo returns with an unparalleled education program and exhibit hall experience for opticians, contact lens practitioners, and ophthalmic allied professionals. The OptiCon Hub will host pop-up talks, networking, social events and access to representatives and resources from ABO & NCLE, OAA, NFOS, CLSA and vendor partners.

On Wednesday, September 27, Vision Expo West will host the Battle at the Sands, a competition during which panelists will compete against each other by presenting interesting cases highlighting imaging technology. The audience decides who wins each match via attendee interactive polling technology. The competition is fierce, and the stakes are high as the loser goes home and the winner advances until the final showdown.

Vision Expo West will also offer the Global Contact Lens Forum, which provides attendees with practical, timely tips in both clinical and business processes to help take their specialty contact lens practice to the next level. A panel of respected, highly successful contact lens practitioners will provide personal insights gleaned from their road map to success, followed by the business of contact lenses. Finally, learn about myopia control, including the good, the bad and the ugly.
