In focus: Busy year ahead for thriving optical scene

Later this month the optical profession descends on London’s Excel for the latest arrival on the sector’s exhibition scene, 100% Optical.

It follows last weekend’s opti Munich exhibition (see panel), which will be followed up by Mido on February 24-26.

By the end of 2018, the number of times the profession and its suppliers meet to learn about new products, share best practice and earn CET points will be entering double figures.

Continued enthusiasm for such events, together with the conclusion of the 2016-18 CET cycle, should ensure strong attendance at each of these gatherings – but some have questioned the sustainability of having so many shows.
