Vision Expo Launches Vision Expo powered by CEwire, a New Virtual CE Event for Optometrists

New online continuing education event offers optometrists 10 hours of COPE-accredited education with live speaker Q&A October 17–18

Norwalk, CT (September 15, 2026) – Vision Expo, North America's leading event for the eyecare and eyewear industry, produced by RX and The Vision Council, is pleased to announce Vision Expo powered by CEwire, a new virtual continuing education (CE) event developed in partnership with CEwire, the largest virtual CE conference provider and platform for optometry and eyecare professionals.

Taking place October 17 and 18, Vision Expo powered by CEwire will deliver 10 hours of COPE-accredited CE content over two days, featuring selected sessions recorded at Vision Expo 2026 in Orlando earlier this year, with speakers returning for live Q&A and interaction. The virtual format will remain available through the end of the year, giving optometrists a convenient accredited CE option this fall while extending access to Vision Expo education beyond the in-person event.

"Vision Expo powered by CEwire is designed to complement, not replace, the in-person Vision Expo experience our community values. Partnering with CEwire, a name that optometrists already know and trust for online CE, made it easy to bring that same quality directly to them this fall,” said April Stackhouse, Event Vice President, Vision Expo. “It's a way for ODs to stay connected to Vision Expo before our return to Las Vegas next March, where we'll offer a full slate of accredited optometric, opticianry and business education for eyecare providers looking to sharpen their skills and stay ahead of the curve."

“Over 14,000 optometrists have used the CEwire platform to meet their licensure requirements over the past decade. We're excited to partner with Vision Expo on the development of this online event, as we share a common mission of providing high-quality clinical education,” said Dr. Adam W. Farkas, Founder and Chief Executive, CEwire.

Full schedule pending; sessions and speakers subject to change.

Registration is $99 for optometrists and free for those already registered for CEwire’s annual CE program. Attendees who register will also receive their registration fee back as credit toward Vision Expo 2027 in Las Vegas. Sign up here: https://www.cewire.com/visionexpo
