Overview
Optikmassan is described by its organiser as the Nordic region's largest - and Scandinavia's biggest - meeting place for suppliers in the optical industry. As an established trade fair it brings together suppliers of spectacle lenses, frames, contact lenses, instruments for eye examinations, and accessories and services for optical stores. It serves opticians, optometrists, buyers and industry professionals from Sweden and the other Nordic countries. Alongside the exhibition floor the fair offers professional development, seminars and stage speakers, training sessions and presentations, business networking and knowledge exchange. The current homepage highlights five themes: the latest technology and innovative optical solutions; seasonal trends, new materials and functional frames; research and development and news in the clinical field; digitalisation with retail at the centre; and services and store solutions such as e-commerce and omni-channel platforms.
2027 edition
The official English "About the fair" page publishes "15-16 january 2027 / Stockholm Waterfront", and the same page names the venue as Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre, "right in the heart of the capital and next to Stockholm Central Station", with the address line "Nils Ericsons plan 4 | Stockholm, Sweden". The Swedish homepage heads its current content "optikmassan 2027", repeats "15-16 januari 2027", and gives the daily opening times. The Friday/Saturday wording matches the 2027 calendar (15 January 2027 is a Friday and 16 January is a Saturday), confirming these hours describe the 2027 edition rather than the closed 2026 one. Exhibitor and programme sections are currently marked "coming soon", which is normal pre-event staging for a January show, not a cancellation or a date conflict. Third-party trade-fair directories independently list 15-16 January 2027 at Stockholm Waterfront for this fair, but the dates, hours and venue recorded here come from the organiser's own pages.
Data notes
The websiteUrl previously stored on this record pointed to the legacy English path /en/eng-start/, which now returns a "Page not found" page; it has been repointed to the live official root. The organiser's domain is protected by a BitNinja anti-bot CAPTCHA that blocks some automated HTTP clients, which is why an earlier verification pass could not read the venue and flagged no_venue: the live official pages do clearly name Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre and its street address, so a venue is available and has been linked (existing venue row verified as SE / Stockholm / Nils Ericsons Plan 4). The previous edition (Optikmassan 2026) is already finished and is thanked on the homepage; no successor brand or discontinuation has been announced.
