Opti 2022 cancelled

Organisers of Opti have cancelled the 2022 event, which was due to take place at Fairground Munich in Germany on January 14-16, due to the pandemic.

The eyewear exhibition said planning had become impossible because of rapidly increasing infection rates and changes to government requirements, as well as visitor restrictions.

Klaus Plaschka, managing director of Opti’s organising company GHM, said: ‘It is currently impossible to predict whether the situation will ease again by January. Our primary goal was and remains to organise an Opti 2022, which promises success for all participants. In this increasingly acute situation, we can no longer guarantee this for the planned time slot of the event.’ Opti will now take place from May 13-15, 2022.
