On 8 and 9 September 2024, the Brabanthallen hosted BOLD XXL, the leading optics trade fair in the Benelux region and beyond. With more than 360 brands and impressive visitor numbers, 2.772 in total, the event has been a great success. This edition offered even more opportunities for networking and discovering the latest trends and collections. This year's focus was on professionalisation and innovation. Visitors were welcomed with a spectacular entrance and many impressive stands. Visitors could also participate in several interesting lectures via silent headsets and enjoy the Chill Out Zone and the Networking Square. The next edition of BOLD XXL is planned for 7 and 8 September 2025. The organisers are working on broadening the offer and improving the layout for an even better visitor experience.
