Date exhibition set to go ahead

Florence-based eyewear exhibition Date will take place on September 19 with eye care practitioners, buyers and manufacturers meeting at the Stazione Leopolda.

Organisers of the Italian event reassured visitors that measures set by the Italian Ministry of Health have been put in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Giovanni Vitaloni, president of Date, said: ‘We hope the 2020 edition of DaTE will be the first of many opportunities to relaunch our industry which, although experiencing difficulties, has shown resilience and strength in adversity.’

Registration has opened and visitors will receive a digital admission pass via email in order to gain entry to the show.
