If you are looking to shop for independent frames then Eyewear Artwalk is an amazing opportunity to learn about new “art-centric” brands. If you are looking to modernize your practice then please visit The Optical Near ME Suites so you can get ready for the new omnichannel trend which is exploding right now. For the offices in search of new Lab and Lens solutions, The Factory is the best place to get acquainted with the latest technology in digital lens designs and a new network of Independent Optical Labs that are working together for you.

We can hold over 10,000 visitors on our platform so PLEASE bring your friends and have a great time!! Many of our events have a capacity for our LIVE networking functions so get there early and request a reservation if you would like to be sure you have a seat reserved.
How much does this cost?

You will never get an opportunity to enjoy such a great experience for free. We will be adopting a paid model in 2021 so join us and have a great time with us!
Who are the exhibitors?
You can access our directory here. We have over 50 exhibitors and all of our exhibitors are 100% owner operated and focused on independent eye care professionals.
Why aren't there any enterprise level exhibitors?
My Vision Show was founded originally to give organic, independent brands a true voice. We have avoided large corporate sponsors so we can have a non-bias environment. There are many opportunities to connect with large, corporate vendors that are typically status quo. My Vision Show is all about giving you the tools to TRULY differentiate your business.
