Vision Expo East 2021 is scheduled to take place June 2-5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Originally scheduled to take place at the Javits Center in New York City, the strategic decision to change the Show location was made by the show’s co-organizers based on COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings in New York State and the successful track record of previous events held at the Orange County Convention Center. The Show’s educational program, together with OptiCon®@Vision Expo, will open Wednesday, June 2 and exhibits will open Thursday, June 3.

Vision Expo West 2021 is scheduled to take place September 22-25, 2021 (Education: Sept. 22-25; Exhibition: Sept. 23-25) at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
