The Vision Council announced today that the 2013 Executive Summit will be held a week earlier, January 16-18, to accommodate the growing number of executives.

"Over the years we have watched the meeting grow in value and importance to become the largest gathering of key influencers from the supply side of the optical industry. In order to keep the momentum high, we felt it was critical to adjust our dates to accommodate the schedules of as many industry leaders as possible." He added, "The concepts we develop, the strategies we discuss and the connections we make at the Summit are vital to the continued growth and success of our member companies and the vision care industry as a whole."   As the premier optical industry event, the Executive Summit delivers a dynamic combination of hot-topic paneldiscussions, division meetings, keynote speakers, and numerous opportunities for C-level networking. The meeting format is designed to ensure The Vision Council's programs align with the diverse needs and interests of its membership, and the industry, in 2013 and beyond.
