Vision Connection Roadshow Returns with a Refreshed, More Interactive Format
This September and October, the Vision Connection Roadshow returns with a new, interactive format designed to foster networking, share practical business strategies, and provide actionable tips for independent optometry professionals.
Now in its third year, the Roadshow is moving away from a standard event series to offer a more personal, discussion-focused experience that helps independent practices tackle real business challenges and opportunities.
This year’s theme is Winning as an Independent in 2026 and Beyond. Vision Connection is focusing more on practical discussions, peer learning, and sharing industry perspectives that matter to independent practices today.
Attendees will find a more engaging, collaborative roundtable environment, with discussions focused on the operational, clinical, and business challenges practices face every day.
Vision Connection says this new approach responds to the growing demand for practical, results-focused industry events.
“Over the past two years, the Roadshow has been about bringing the industry together. This year, more than the traditional presentations and trade exhibit, we wanted to build a more engaging atmosphere where practices can talk to and learn from each other, discuss real-world challenges, and walk away with practical ideas they can apply,” said Joanne Scott-Dostine, Vision Connection’s CEO.
The Vision Connection Roadshow starts in Melbourne this year, beginning with a relaxed social gathering before O-SHOW26. The event brings together members, suppliers, and guests from across the industry for an evening of connection, conversation, and community before the main Roadshow series begins.
Attendees can also expect many of Vision Connection’s active and highly collaborative supplier partners to be part of the Melbourne gathering and Roadshow series.
After Melbourne, the Roadshow series continues in:
• Perth – 4 September
• Brisbane – 7 October
Vision Connection welcomes both members and non-members from the independent optometry sector to the Roadshow.
