Alexandria, VA– The organizers of Vision Expo, The Vision Council and RX, share that more than 240 exhibitors have committed to Vision Expo East to-date. Vision Expo East 2022 will take place from March 31–April 3 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

“We are looking forward to hosting a dynamic Show. With more than 240 exhibitors already committed and more than 75 additional exhibitors expected to join, representing a diverse range of companies across the vision care landscape, the momentum is strong and reflects industry-wide excitement to be back in-person in New York City for the first time since 2019,” said Mitch Barkley, Vice President of Trade Shows and Events at The Vision Council. “We are committed to bringing the community together safely, delivering important continuing education, and providing an atmosphere that is conducive to relationship-building, networking and conducting business. In keeping with this spirit of celebration and collaboration, we are pleased to extend the free registration deadline to January 27.” 

Vision Expo East will feature several Show Floor neighborhoods, including The Atelier, a new and nearly sold-out neighborhood driven by design-led ateliers dedicated to artisanal eyewear and featuring a limited group of sought-after independent designers from around the globe

The Atelier is designed to serve as an intimate and sophisticated setting for buying and networking. The neighborhood will offer special amenities and curated experiences, from a dedicated welcome concierge and live music to an exclusive lounge area, beverages and canapé food service. 

“I am super excited to be a part of this special community,” said Thierry Lasry. “I think The Atelier is going to be one of the most exciting places to be at Vision Expo East. The discerning edit of designers and brands, combined with experiential amenities and a comfortable lounge, will create a luxury, boutique-style shopping experience. We are confident it will be one of the best areas to do business and catch up with friends and clients.” 

In addition to The Atelier, other Show Floor neighborhoods include The Focus, which brings together lens and coating technology, lens processing techniques, disease management solutions, contact lens innovations and eye care practice optimization. The Park, that celebrates the industry icons, brands and collections of superior style and exemplary service. The Union, showcasing new collections launches, pop-culture inspired collaborations and “talk-of-the-show” trends. And The Springs that is a discovery zone for new talents in the eyewear design and vision innovations. In addition to the Show Floor neighborhoods, The Bridge will serve as the Show’s main stage destination and will host a rich schedule of special events, panels and presentations.
