Based on previous events, visitors can expect to explore 900 exhibitors from 42 countries; an enormous 1,500 brands under one roof covering over 75,000 m2 of space.

Inspired this year by the Olympic values of performance, innovation and talent, SILMO Paris will include a trends forum, SILMO Next, which peeks into the future of optics products and materials, and workshops undertaken by the Meilleur’s ouvriers de France lune tiers (best craftsmen of France in eyewear).

Additionally, SILMO Academy will enable visitors to attend conference sessions led by international experts who will discuss the latest trends and innovations in the sector. The muchanticipated SILMO d’Or awards, which have been in place since 1994, will celebrate the talent and creativity of the entire industry, recognising the ingenuity and inventiveness of over 330 companies.

Amélie Morel, President of SILMO Paris, said professionals from around the world are invited to attend the event and “share our vision of the future topics”.

“Higher, further, stronger, SILMO Paris 2024 is more than just a trade show. Guided by the values of commitment, respect and high standards, this event celebrates the excellence and passion that drive our industry,” she said.
