ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Show organizers for International Vision Expo West 2017 have confirmed an increase in exhibitors and expansion of many existing exhibitor booths in the trendsetting Galleria on the show floor, as well as over 140 luxury brands for its exclusive Suites program in the Venetian Hotel.

“The continued growth of the Galleria reflects Vision Expo’s commitment to providing attendees with one convenient fashion destination for the latest trends, cult favorites and emerging designers not found anywhere else,” said Mitch Barkley, vice president of shows of The Vision Council.
