Vision Expo East could be the PERFECT opportunity to meet and connect with potential employers! Make sure you come prepared to make a great first impression because your future employer might meet you at the booth!
Vision Expo East is always special, and a place where all of the top dogs in optometry meet. It is a great place to learn a few things, have fun, and make long lasting friendships. Networking is such an important part of growing your professional network, especially in such a small profession like Optometry.
