I am going to be going to the Las Vegas meeting in September. Do any of the optiboard members go there? Any way to meet?

I will be there Friday and Saturday (I'll be teaching classes 9am-1pm on Sat). Be sure and stop by the Essilor booth- its brand new (debuted at VEE in March).

I've already booked all my travel and CE. I'm ready to go, I would be up for meeting somewhere sometime as well if anyone else is going to. I'll keep my eyes open to see if anyone does set anything up here on OptiBoard. Hope to see some of you there!
In years past, we have all tried to meet somewhere. Steve are you out there??? Any suggestions on where we could meet this year??????

I won't be going to VEW again. Too many bad memories from the last time I went.

Steve,
This will be my first time to the Vision Expo West. I've gone to a couple of the other Expos but have decided its a good time for a vacation and Vegas always sounds good (especially when it can be considered a business trip:) ). Now you have me worried. What bad experiences did you have? Is it a good show to go to?
Sorry, it has nothing to do with VEW or Las Vegas. That just happens to be where we were when we got the news about our daughter Liz. I can never go back there.

I still remember chatting with Marlena and yourself at VEW- I was thinking about you guys when I saw us discussing VEW. I do hope we cross paths again someday...

I am not sure of the situation at hand Steve but I am sorry for the pain I can feel in your words...
You are much respected and cared for and I am truly sorry for your obvious hurt.

Steve,
I'm so sorry! I had no idea of the situation and can't imagine how somehing like that stay with you. I'm sorry for the pain that VEW/Vegas brings back about the loss of your daughter. Well, like Pete said I hope we can cross paths at some other event than. It would be great to meet the person behind OptiBoard. Thanks for all you do Steve.
Chad
Will be there from Wednesday through Friday. Perhaps we will all see each other somewhere in there.

C-ya there
In a rather surprising turn of events, my employers are sending all our full-time staff to VEW, which means I get to go for the first time :) Hope to meet some of you there!

I'll be driving out from Ohio. Can't wait to hit the road!
Boucher Communication (Eyecare Business mag) has agreed to host the event. We could manage it Friday around noon or around 3:00; we'd have a half hour. We wouldn't have a meeting room, but there's plenty of outside sitting and standing room. Will that work?
I am going, but I'm in class Friday/Saturday from 8:30am to 5:00 abo advance review......
Can't wait to get there though:)

I will be there. Encore Vision will have a booth (#21101) but I will be intermittantly in the booth. Usually try to catch up with everyone I don't get to see throughout the year. Would very much like to meet any Optiboarders.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience Steve.
Jim
I am wondering if anybody is going that is not an exhibitor, or lecturer that has to be there?
:bbg: :D
I go to purchase.
Actually I have been there every year for about 5 years as an attendee and this is my first as an exhibitor. SO, hopefully some will go. I know about 7 people who have never been and are going this year at my recommendation.Originally Posted by Chris Ryser
I think its a pretty good show and if you get bored there is plenty of other stuff to do.
See ya there!!! Maybe?
Jim
Karlen -
Friday 3:00 sounds great! Let us know the final time you schedule.
Chris -
I go as a buyer/attendee - my biggest buying splurges of the year are always at Expo! :cheers:
