First visit to Vision Expo West - what to expect

[CNCBill]

I'm on the machinery side of the industry and will be attending Vision Expo West to see what's happening in our niche. A related field but far from the world of dispensing. I'm kind of an eyewear junkie though and was considering sticking around to visit some of my favorite frame manufacturers. My question is will the manufacturers let me in to their suites to take a look? Better yet would they consider selling a frame or two out of their cases at the end of the show?
I'm just questioning whether I add a few extra hours at the end of the show to look around and hopefully add to my personal collection or head home.
Thanks,

There are 2 different types of eyewear exhibitors at Vision Expo. The majority are on the main show floor, either in the Galleria or the Eyewear & Accessories area. Then there are another 130 brands in The Suites, located on the Venetian Hotel. Appointments with these vendors are recommended.

I've been on the show for years and I'm not very familiar with frame manufacturers selling individual frames for private use but that doesn't mean you can't ask.

You can find contact information for all of the companies at http://www.visionexpowest.com/en/Fas...ucts--Vendors/
