LAS VEGAS—In partnership with Vison Expo West, Local Eye Site announced the creation of a new networking event, “Job Link at Vision Expo West.” The event designed to connect employers with eyecare professionals will be hosted at Local Eye Site’s expanded Booth #25130 during Vision Expo West.

The event will run on a schedule all three days, with two sessions per day lasting an hour each. The session schedule will be: Sept. 17 optometrists from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and opticians from 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.; Sept. 18 opticians from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and optometrists from 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.; Sept. 19 optometrists from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again from 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.

“We are excited about the purpose and format of this event,” said Brad McCorkle, president and founder of Local Eye Site. “Recruiting employers and eyecare professionals are always looking for ways to connect. This particular event will provide that connection in an innovative and fun “speed dating” like format, so we anticipate this to be a helpful and successful event for everyone involved.”

“Hiring employers and job-seekers often ask for ways to meet while at the Vision Expo events,” said Kristen Reynolds, professional relations manager with The Vision Council. “We’re excited to be able to work with Local Eye Site to create a program that will provide professional opportunities for our attendees.”

Employers are encouraged to register for Job Link before Sept. 1 in order to take advantage of special participation rates. Registration is free for job seekers until Sept. 1.
