Mido 2012 provides customized services
OttiClub and Easy Mido, new services to make you feel at home! Thanks to the ongoing interaction with participants, this year Mido is preparing a special welcome for one of its primary targets: Italy's opticians. A personalized service has been created just for them, in pavilion 22: the OttiClub by Mido, not just a linguistic marriage of optician and club - a meeting space for in-depth talks on topics of interest to opticians, and also a true hospitality area with dedicated spaces for talking business and relaxing. Access is exclusively reserved to Italian opticians visiting the fair, and Easy Mido registrants. «In cooperation with the leading trade associations, Mido is promoting a very simple and effective initiative: picking up opticians from their homes!», explains Marcolin. «Transfers have been organized from various regions in Italy. And, with an eye to the future, we extended the initiative to include the new generation of opticians - attending or recently graduated trade school and university students - for whom guided tours inside the show have been organized to help them get a closer look at and experience in person the latest innovations in the world of eyewear, from an international perspective».
