Vision Expo Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why will Vision Expo East 2025 be in a new location?  

Hosting Vision Expo East 2025 in Orlando is in complete alignment with furthering customer wants and needs for evolution and is the result of extensive consideration and feedback from various stakeholder groups including The Vision Council Board of Directors and the Vision Expo Show Planning Committee. The industry has changed dramatically over the past few years, and these changes reflect a commitment to support the evolving business landscape and customer interests.

Vision Expo East 2025 will debut with a re-imagined Show experience and abundant opportunities for exhibitors to engage with attendees in a more centralized environment. The multi-year agreement will offer attendees their preferred show date pattern of Thursday – Saturday (like Vision Expo West) that does not conflict with the announced dates of other popular industry shows and events. 

In addition, by hosting Vision Expo East in Orlando we expect to attract our existing loyal audience as well as expand audiences from the robust Southeast market (Florida ranks as the third highest state for ECPs in the country), international markets, re-engage legacy partners, and ultimately support growth for everyone involved.

What makes Orlando the best option for the future of Vision Expo East?

As a popular destination for conferences, Orlando is well-equipped to facilitate Vision Expo’s unique trade show logistics, ensuring a seamless transition for exhibitors and show attendees. Show venues, hotels and meeting spaces and special event venues will all be located within a walkable area, ensuring a better connected and community-like experience.

Located only 11 miles from the OCCC, Orlando International Airport (MCO) currently provides over 500 flights a day and nonstop service from approximately 150 cities around the world making travel to and from the show easy.
