In-person and virtual programming will immerse ECPs with the blockbuster brands and programs that support their practice
Dallas & New York (May 25, 2021) – As the industry prepares for the return of Vision Expo East in June, EssilorLuxottica is putting the final touches on its dual physical and virtual appearance for the show. Whether visiting the event live in the company’s new, tech-enabled booth or remotely via its user-friendly microsite, ECPs can expect entertaining and engaging experiences that will hone in on the true value EssilorLuxottica delivers for the industry and practices to maximize their success through its brands, programs and innovation.
“The return of Vision Expo East marks the beginning of a new chapter for the industry, one that EssilorLuxottica is proud to be a part of to stoke a renewed passion as we begin entering a post-pandemic world,” said Rick Gadd, President of Essilor North America. “Once again engaging with our customers and partners in person, and for the first time a digital show experience, we can show even more of our support for customers and the value we bring to grow the market for everyone through programs and products like EssilorLuxottica 360 and Ray-Ban Authentic.”
“We took this opportunity to reimagine the way we engage with our customers at Expo. More high-touch branded experiences, more engaging, more personalized and informative – our customers remain at the center of our strategy so all of these elements are critical in strengthening our relationship with them,” said Fabrizio Uguzzoni, President of Luxottica Wholesale, Americas. “Our goal is to have the customer walk away with the confidence that EssilorLuxottica has their back and we are working tirelessly to develop products and programs that will elevate their practices and give them an edge.”
