10th edition of BOLD OPTICAL FAIR to take place in September
- By Editorial Team
The BOLD Optical Fair will celebrate its 10th edition on 6th–7th September 2026, returning to the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch, the Netherlands, for what organisers expect to be its largest event to date. Since its launch in September 2023 at the Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht, BOLD has expanded rapidly, evolving into a major trade event for the independent optical sector. According to the organisers, recent editions have attracted more than 500 opticians from Belgium and Germany alone, drawn by what they describe as a brand selection unavailable at any other single event.
Alongside established exhibitors, BOLD is known as an event that introduces new brands making their Dutch debut. Organisers also report that a number of exhibitors have chosen to delay the launch of new collections specifically for their unveiling at the September exhibition. In addition to its extensive exhibitor line-up, the anniversary edition will include a charity lottery supporting three causes nominated by exhibitors and visitors. Tickets will be available throughout both days of the fair, with prize draws taking place at the close of each day. The BOLD Optical Fair takes place on 6th–7th September 2026 at the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch, the Netherlands.
