Fairs and championships, 24 to 27 Sept 2027

SILMO Paris

The Paris optics and eyewear fair, with its Silmo d'Or awards. 24 to 27 September 2027, its 60th anniversary edition.

SILMO is an international trade fair for optics and eyewear held each autumn at Paris-Nord Villepinte. Frame designers, lens makers and equipment suppliers meet opticians and buyers over four days, and the Silmo d'Or awards are given for frames, lenses and equipment. France has its own frame-making tradition, centred on the Jura around Morez and Oyonnax, and its makers exhibit beside studios from around the world. The 2027 fair runs from Friday 24 to Monday 27 September and marks 60 years of the show.
