The Southern Independent Optical Show or SIOS

We’re bringing the best of independent eyewear to the South, with all the class and none of the sass of other shows. The team behind SIOS brings decades of experience attending and producing optical events around the world, and we’re combining that expertise with genuine Southern hospitality in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
This is your opportunity to introduce your independent brand to opticians and optometrists from across the South, build meaningful relationships, and connect with buyers actively seeking new products and fresh ideas.
Join us as we launch SIOS 2027. Space is limited, so reserve your place today.
