More than half the floor space available at Optrafair 2013 has been snapped up, organisers the Federation of Manufacturing Opticians reported this week.
The event, at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre from April 13-15 next year, gave 2011 exhibitors first refusal on their previous stand space. '
We have had a tremendous response to opening the booking for 2013 and are very heartened by the positive feedback from so many of the 2011 Optrafair exhibitors. This is the show that the profession waits for every two years it is the time to come and take stock of where a practice is and what investment is needed to move it forward to compete successfully on the high street,' said FMO chief executive Malcolm Polley (pictured).
The FMO said more than 60 per cent of space had been booked.
