About MIDO
MIDO is where the world of optics meets, where the best the industry has to offer in terms of trends, innovation, design, sustainability and creativity is on display, in a setting where deals are made, and sales closed.
Starting the end of September, visitors can register on the MIDO website for the forthcoming edition of the most international eyewear show, set to take place at Fiera Milano Rho February 3rd to 5th 2024.
As MIDO has consistently ridden, and often anticipated, the wave of new trends, for this new 2024 edition MIDO introduces ‘Spheres’, the new campaign created with artificial intelligence, combining human creativity with the innovative power of Artificial Intelligence, the first trade show campaign to be developed with this technology.

The claim chosen for the campaign is “The Eyewear Universe”, presented graphically through spheres that shape the images and are part of a new universe. Planets of different sizes and colours create the backdrop for iconic style personalities, helping to create a fantastic world: of eyewear.
Now in its XXVII edition, the Mediastars advertising award is granted every year to the best Italian campaigns, recognizing and enhancing the professionalism and talent of those working in the field of communication in Italy.
The collaboration with Max Galli and Mixer Group continues this year with the new worldwide campaign of the MIDO 2024, SPHERES – THE EYEWEAR UNIVERSE: it is the first campaign of an exhibition, to be created by integrating human creativity with the innovative power of Artificial Intelligence.
