Optrafair exhibitors benefit from strong attendance

An official audit has revealed that more than 6,500 people attended Optrafair 2015 at the Birmingham NEC last month.

Total unique attendance over the three days (April 18-20) was 6,510, or 8,761 including repeat visits, confirmed The Federation of Manufacturing Opticians (FMO).

FMO chairman Barry Dibble said: ‘The numbers speak for themselves, Optrafair is the largest audited trade event for eye care professionals in the UK.

‘Year after year it is trusted not only to deliver the leading international companies, such as Topcon, who only exhibit in the UK at Optrafair, but also reliable visitor numbers and the right quality visitors – the decision makers. Exhibitors who prepared well for the show reaped the benefits for their business.
