NEW YORK—The New Attendee Program is a great way for first time attendees to become acquainted with International Vision Expo East and be comfortable with the show before they get onsite. New attendees are provided with a step-by-step guide of everything needed to have a successful show experience. The guide is available at visionexpoeast.com/For-Attendees/First-Time and offers advice on everything from the best tools to use at the show to tips from seasoned attendees.

Once onsite, new attendees can pick up their show badge at the official New Attendee Check-In counter. Here they will be greeted by a Customer Care representative who will help them get acquainted with key locations, let them know about special events and networking opportunities and provide them with materials that will help guide them through their experience.

Preparing for Vision Expo East can seem overwhelming for first-time attendees. There is so much to experience at this eyecare conference from meeting exhibitors, networking with colleagues to the robust Continuing Education program.
