The North East Optical Show gears up to become the leading center for indie optical collections across the East Coast.
The North East Optical Show (NEOS) is strategically positioned to evolve as the leading assembly of independent optical collections, extending from New England to the Mid-Atlantic and Maine. As Vision Expo reorients its focus towards Orlando post-2024, NEOS projects a consistent uptick in participation within New England, with strategic plans in progress for annual exhibitions in the DC vicinity.
The event will continue its signature one-day events in Boston and DC, while ambitiously planning a larger two-day event for Spring 2025.
NEOS stands at the cutting edge of revolutionizing the optical trade show landscape, particularly focusing on independent eyewear collections. The open plan layout and restricted table count ensure an even competition, facilitating a one-of-a-kind platform for representatives and buyers to establish connections, thus cultivating novel alliances and synergies. With a cap of two collections per table spread across roughly 45 tables, NEOS proudly exhibits the most extensive range of independent eyewear nationwide. The exposition is accessible to all professionals within the optical industry, irrespective of their tenure.
The vendor registration process for NorthEastOpticalShow.com is now active. Interested attendees are encouraged to register online for timely updates concerning pre-registration and other pertinent exhibition-related information.

In the wake of the pandemic, the North East Optical Show (NEOS) was established. Initiated as a gathering during these challenging times, it served as a networking platform for two representatives, both proprietors of optical stores.
Their aim was more than just networking—it was to bring a semblance of normality to a radically altered period. As word spread about NEOS, interest surged, and within weeks, it grew from a casual dinner at a restaurant to a large-scale event held at the Renaissance Hotel in Providence, RI, featuring over 50 collections.
This transformation occurred on April 23, 2022. Joanna and Jessica, the founders of NEOS, both represent independent companies and exclusively stock independent collections in their stores.
“We encourage you, as a small independent business, to collaborate with other independent vendors, showcasing these collections to regain or maintain your independence. This initiative allows you to retain full control over your future business direction.”
