Designers and manufacturers from throughout the world made an appearance at Vision Expo West. One bold frame, called Goliath, I was told was introduced in 1979 and still is a big seller with a retail price of $300 just for the frames. What did I see this year? Lots of beefy frames. I have attended this event before and I like it because I am a glasses-wearer and I particularly like seeing the latest designs of eyeglasses.

The newly renamed Venetion Expo convention center (formerly Sands Expo) was host to last week’s Vision Expo West, an event for professionals in the eye care industry: Optome- trists, Ophthalmologists, etc.

However, lots of folks preferred this colorful sign in the middle of the show floor.

Registration for the show opened last week, and while it’s too early to predict attendance, Barkley noted that, “a majority of our Vision Expo East exhibitors are onboard, as well as several exhibitors participating in Vision Expo West for the first time.Lots of professional and rather typical signs announced Vision Expo West, Sept 22-25 at the Venetian Expo. Named the “Venetian Clean” commitment, it was developed with information provided by the Southern Nevada Health District, CDC and WHO as well as additional guidelines and procedures for sanitation and cleaning, with an emphasis on the prevention of virus transmission. “We will communicate regularly with all our attendees and exhibitors so that we can bring the vision community together again under the best possible circumstances.“Īdditionally, the Venetian Resort - typically were most attendees stay while in Vegas - and Sands Expo Convention Center have developed extensive protocols for cleaning, health and safety.
VISION EXPO WEST 2021 UPDATE
“We are monitoring the Las Vegas reopening rollout very closely and will develop and update our protocols as needed over the coming weeks,” Barkley said of the developing nature of the response to pandemic. Las Vegas reopened on June 4, but as recent tourism campaign promises, it’s a “New Vegas, for a new reality.” The task force is focused on five operational pillars: show layout and logistics, including floor plans and recommended booth guidelines physical distancing, including capacity and flow of people health screening and medical response cleaning, sanitization and personal protective equipment and conference, special events and talent handling. ”The goal is to organize Vision Expo West in line with guidance from public health officials, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, state and local governments and the protocols put in place by venue partners.” “This is the first time we have had a task force like this in place as part of show planning,“ Barkley said. Now, in the wake of the pandemic, The Vision Council and Reed Exhibitions, who co-own the event, have announced the creation of a Health & Safety Task Force to develop and implement policies and best practices around COVID-19 response and prevention in Las Vegas.
