REM Eyewear Executives to Teach
Popular
Continuing Education Course Live at Vision Expo East
The hugely popular 20/20
Continuing Education course titled “Frame Design and Development: Looking
Beyond Logos and Markings” will be taught live at Vision Expo East 8:30 a.m. to
9:30 a.m. on Friday March 15. Registration is now open at www.VisionExpoEast.com.
Since the launch of the
online educational opportunity, more than 3,200 individuals have successfully
completed the course receiving credit from the American Board of Opticianry – more than any other 20/20 Continuing Education
course to date.
Mike
Hundert, REM Eyewear CEO and Chief Creative Officer collaborated with Nico Roseillier, REM
Eyewear Creative Director, to design the course so participants have the
opportunity to explore today’s eyewear manufacturing dynamics. From country of origin to methods and
materials, students gain a better understanding of how to evaluate eyewear and
best describe quality to patients.
Hundert offers students an
in-depth view of manufacturing, acquired through three decades of hands-on
experience working with factories around the world. Course participants benefit from Hundert’s
wisdom, gaining knowledge usually only accessible with a passport and years of
meticulous research.
Roseillier lends his
expertise in designing on-brand collection concepts and demonstrates examples
from such eyewear brands as acclaimed designer John Varvatos and American
classic Converse. From inception to
creation, Roseillier guides students through his process giving a
behind-the-scenes look at what happens when creativity and engineering collide.
REM Eyewear is known for
quality so it comes as no surprise that both men focus on quality from
beginning to end.
“Quality is at the heart of every decision we
make at our Los Angeles headquarters and that mindset carries through the
manufacturing process. Students of the course will walk away with tips for
identifying markers of quality and the best way to communicate that quality to
the end consumer,” said Hundert.
For
those who can’t make it to Vision Expo East, the course is available for one CE
credit online, at no cost - thanks to a grant from REM Eyewear, until October
2013. Visit www.2020Mag.com/CE to
