EYECON Announces 2027 New York Event with Expanded Tech Focus

EYECON has announced its return to New York City for March 5–7, 2027, at The Glasshouse. Under the theme “Reframing Eyewear’s Place in Fashion & Tech,” the event will expand its focus on smart eyewear, lens technology, and materials alongside fashion and design. Founder Tarrence Lackran stated the goal is to position eyewear within broader cultural conversations. Building on the 2026 edition, which saw a 28% increase in overall attendance and a 35% rise in buyers, the 2027 show continues to prioritize emerging talent; one-third of 2026 exhibitors were US debuts. Registration is currently open for industry professionals, retailers, and buyers. Additional programming details are scheduled for announcement in the coming months.
