In its second year, EYECON continues to refine its position by bringing together international luxury eyewear brands entering the U.S. market alongside a select group of boutique and independent labels returning from its inaugural event. For retailers, opticians, and industry media focused on sourcing and market insight, the show offers a consolidated view of emerging global brands alongside established players, presented within a tightly curated format.
Conceived by Tarrence Lackran, respected champion of global eyewear culture, EYECON blends curated brand presentations with thought-leading discussions, credited education classes, mentoring, networking, and immersive activations. “This is not just another trade event,” said Lackran. “EYECON was built to celebrate the culture of eyewear — its artistry, its engineering, and the people who elevate it. We wanted to create a space that brings the whole community together in a fresh and meaningful way.”
