The organisers of 100% Optical have received an award for ‘Best Brand Collaboration’ at the Exhibition News Indy Awards.
The award recognised the 10-year relationship between 100% Optical and the AOP, which develops the education programme for the optical trade show.
Nathan Garnett, show director of 100% Optical, shared: “100% Optical first partnered with the AOP in July 2013. Without this partnership, 100% Optical would never have reached the heights it has today, being the only major optical trade show in the sector, and one that can rival Milan, Paris and New York Optical Trade Fairs.”
The partnership has grown stronger over the decade, Garnett said, “and helped us deliver a 10% increase in attendees in 2023 – a record-breaking show.”
Commenting on the partnership, AOP chief executive, Adam Sampson, said: “We’re delighted to see 100% Optical recognised as ‘Best Brand Collaboration’ at the Exhibition News Indy Awards. 100% Optical continues to be a standout event in the calendar and an important platform for us to come together as a sector. In the lead up to the show’s 10-year anniversary – which attracts thousands of optical professionals from across the globe and offers an unrivalled education programme – it’s a fitting win for the AOP and Media 10 teams who deliver an exceptional event year on year.”
AOP Head of Education, Dr Ian Beasley, added: “The award is testament to our great partnership which has gone from strength to strength since we began delivering 100% Optical back in 2013. Each year we aim to build on our successes to create the best CPD learning opportunities for our members so they can earn points as seamlessly as possible while networking with colleagues and engaging with hundreds of exhibitors.
“Our partnership with Media 10 has propelled the growth and accomplishments of the show to deliver an incomparable education programme. We look forward to its continued achievements in providing world class learning opportunities for members and the wider sector.”
Congratulating the teams at Media 10, the show organisers behind 100% Optical, and thanking the AOP and OT, Garnett said: “We look forward to the many years of successful partnership ahead.”
Registration for 100% Optical 2024, which will be the 10th edition of the show, is open.
