The new layout will feature all of Vision Expo’s Show Floor neighborhoods on Level Three of the Javits Center.

“We are thrilled to offer the vision care community a more unified Show Floor experience in 2023,” said Fran Pennella, vice president, Vision Expo at RX. “By bringing The Focus neighborhood, previously located on Level One, to Level Three, we will position all of the Show Floor neighborhoods alongside one another, creating a Show Floor that is more reflective of the full scope of the vision care industry and enabling attendees to more easily navigate and explore the latest technology, trends and vision care innovations.”

“The new Show Floor layout will reinforce a sense of community and collaboration,” said Mitch Barkley, vice president of Trade Shows and Events at The Vision Council. “Attendees will be able to seamlessly experience every sector of the industry, while also easily stopping by special events and gatherings.”

“The new layout is in response to overwhelming demand and exhibitor feedback,” said Pennella. “We are pleased to make this thoughtful change that will enhance the overall Show experience for attendees and exhibitors alike.”
