After the February 22 announcement of MIDO’s postponement made made its way around the world, the international eyewear exhibition is immediately getting back on track. Today the organizers announced the new dates to celebrate the fair’s 50th anniversary, which will now take place from Sunday, July 5 through Tuesday, July 7 2020, dates compatible with any coming provisions made by the competent authority for the health crisis and for the evolution of the national and international situation.
“After the
decision to postpone MIDO, the wisdom of which we are ever more convinced of
after seeing how the emergency has escalated in the past few days and the
relative precautions adopted by the Italian government – comments the President
Giovanni Vitaloni – we have worked nonstop in the last 72 hours to be able to
define the new dates, carefully chosen to meet the needs of the sector. Thanks
to the tireless work of the whole staff and to the collaboration with Fiera
Milano, we are already able to announce the new dates. In addition to the
support of the most important companies, in these hours we have met with our
exhibitors, buyers, and stakeholders, because MIDO is the reference point for
the sector, and, above all in this delicate moment, it is the reflection of
Italian and international eyewear, a unique resource recognized worldwide as an
important economic segment for our country.
The new date will allow the brands to present the new collections in preview,
as it always happens in February at MIDO, and to meet with buyers that arrive
from all around the globe, in order to understand the coming season’s trends.”
In the last few days the access to the digital platform MIDO4U has been activated for all the exhibitors: connecting to the website www.mido4u.com , the companies can upload their collections, giving the registered buyers for MIDO 2020 the chance to see the products and make direct contact with the exhibitors.
