Registration is open for Vision Expo 2027, taking place March 10–13 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. Produced by RX and The Vision Council, the event will bring together eye care professionals for continuing education, eyewear and clinical technology exhibits, business programming and networking.
Education begins March 10, with the exhibit hall open March 11–13. Early registration rates are available until December 17, 2026.
“What’s Your Vision?”
The 2027 theme, “What’s Your Vision?”, reflects the different priorities attendees bring to the event, from earning continuing education credits and exploring eyewear collections to evaluating technology for their practices.
“Vision Expo is the one place where eyecare and eyewear come together with the education to support both,” said Ashley Mills, CEO of The Vision Council.
Exhibits and Education
More than 350 exhibitors are expected, representing global eyewear brands, independent designers, clinical and pharmaceutical companies, and practice technology providers. Startups will also be featured in the Innovation Center, with many exhibitors planning to introduce new collections and products.
The education program will offer hundreds of hours of accredited continuing education covering optometry, opticianry, allied health and business. Topics include disease treatment, practice management, lens innovation and digital health.
From March 11–13, programming on the NOW Stage and Innovation Stage will address business growth, technology, artificial intelligence, fashion and trends.
Attendees can explore the exhibitor directory and education schedule online.

Event highlights include the 2027 NOW Awards, recognizing optical and sunglass design, direct-to-consumer brands and emerging designers. Entries are open to brands worldwide, whether or not they exhibit at Vision Expo, with submissions closing February 5, 2027.
The Vision Expo Fashion Show will showcase colours, materials and silhouettes for the upcoming season on the NOW Stage. On March 11, the VSP Vision Innovation Challenge will feature startups pitching new eye care solutions on the Innovation Stage, with winners announced during the event.
