Make a date for DaTE

More than 1,000 visitors in 2025

The 2026 edition of DaTE will take place in  Napoli, Italy, from 12 and 14 September.

The Salone Margherita will be the venue for three days focused on contemporary eyewear, featuring independent brands, and networking opportunities for buyers, opticians, press and industry professionals.

The DaTE Party will take place on Saturday 12 September from 7 pm.

“We are very satisfied with the growth of DaTE, especially at such a delicate time for the market, both in Italy and abroad,” remarked DaTE president, Davide Degl’Incerti Tocci.

“After the relaunch edition at Cocoricò, which brought together 110 brands and 1,000 visitors, we again felt the same enthusiasm for the Napoli edition.

“We are also particularly proud of our collaboration with ITA [Italian Trade Agency] which, thanks to the hosted buyers project, aims to bring about 30 buyers from Europe and the Mediterranean area to DaTE – a crucial opportunity to enhance Made in Italy and create new international business opportunities for our exhibitors.

“We want to continue building an event that can listen to the industry, foster genuine relationships, and offer an experience that goes beyond a mere exhibition.”
