Silmo Singapore - looking to the future

Building on last year’s successful launch, Silmo Singapore returns with a new edition from 24–26 April 2024 at the Suntec Exhibition and Convention Centre.

This year, Silmo Singapore organisers say it will offer all professionals in the region the opportunity to discover the latest advances in optics and eyewear in three dedicated areas: Futurology, a space dedicated to the theme of techno-responsibility, with a focus on the innovations that will gradually shape the future of optics and eyewear; Trends Forum, where optics and sunglasses follow the creative seasonal rhythms of fashion and design; and Silmo Talks, where industry players will share experiences and discuss the future of their businesses, products and distribution.

Silmo Academy

In partnership with the International Association of Opticians (IAO), Silmo Academy will offer CPD sessions focused on contact lenses, the under-45s, the over-45s and ocular health, plus patient wellbeing. Featuring internationally renowned specialists, the symposium will provide a platform for all industry actors, optometrists and dispensing opticians to meet, share best practices and access the latest knowledge and innovations.

It’s exciting to see how the Silmo Academy concept is growing worldwide and in particular in Singapore, said Elaine Grisdale, Silmo Academy scientific director. “The fact that so many international opinion leaders, eyecare experts and vision scientists have responded with enthusiasm to support the event is a testament to its credibility and growing appeal.”
