Despite the unpredictability of our times, the situation in Italy is currently under control and the hosting of trade shows has not been compromised. MIDO 2022 is set to open its doors February 12th to 14th at Fiera Milano Rho, as scheduled. Proof of success can be found in other key events, like the recent well-attended EICMA motorcycle show. At the moment, there are no barriers to international travel, no measures prohibiting access to Italy by European citizens or those from other key market nations, like the USA. Currently, about 600 exhibitors have confirmed their participation in the show, of these 350 are international, primarily European, specifically, from France, Germany, Spain, the UK and the United States. [bne_testimonials layout=”slider” category=”mido2022-2″] MIDO is also an opportunity to share thoughts brought up by the pandemic, expressed as solutions, innovations and products that look to the future and that make a break with “yesterday’s world”. With this in mind, the global eyewear industry has seen a growth spurt in product personalization and a greater sensitivity to environmental and social sustainability. [bne_testimonials layout=”slider” category=”mido2022-3″] Speaking of sustainability, the 1st edition of the Stand Up For Green award will take place at MIDO 2022 ‒ in recognition of the stands where outstanding environmental sensitivity was exercised, for example, by employing reusable modules, recycled materials or raw materials with low environmental impact. Award winners will be announced on Saturday, February 12, during the show’s opening-day events. Another award returning this year is the BeStore Award, acknowledging the world’s optical centers that offer an outstanding shopping experience and customer service. Entries for both awards can be submitted until January 12 on the MIDO website www.mido.com, under the “participate” heading. Also back after a successful first edition is the Your BeStore digital competition award that goes to the optical shop deemed the best by users of the MIDO 2022 | DIGITAL EDITION platform. MIDO will also feature training opportunities and presentations on trends and future scenarios by industry professionals, to be held in the OttiClub space. Discussing trends will be WGSN; while Materially will focus on innovative materials as well as retail, presbyopia, progressives, marketing and much more.
