The Optical Distributors & Manufacturers Association of Australia’s (ODMA’s) boutique optical fair, O-Show, returns to Melbourne from 14-15 July 2018.

The decision to repeat the fair, follows the success of the inaugural event, also in Melbourne, in 2016, said ODMA in a statement. “O-Show provides a great opportunity to have the latest industry trends in technology and frame fashion showcased in the southern part of Australia. (It) is owned by the Australian optical industry. It has been developed for the industry, by the industry.”

The 2018 O-Show will once again be held again at Peninsula in Melbourne’s Docklands. “The latest offerings for the industry will be presented in a funky environment providing a relaxed opportunity to network and enjoy the unique ambience,” said ODMA, adding the event is timed for the latest frame and sunglass releases from MIDO and the US.

“O-Show is a non CPD event with the emphasis on hands on demonstrations, and the opportunity to compare and contrast new products and equipment,” said Robert Sparkes, chairman of ODMA.
