No show pow wow

The failure of The Eye Show may have come as a great disappointment to many but it has demonstrated that a London optical show has legs.

It's been an exciting time for the optical show business but it's time to start talking turkey.

There are two protagonists now offering an event for the capital.

Is it peace on or peace.....

One has the contacts and heart of the industry on its side, the other has a venue and a background in the exhibition business.

It is now time for the two of them to get together for a pow wow and decide how best to put together a show that the UK optical profession and overseas visitors will want to see. Let's start talking about how the optical show goer can best be served.
