The Loft Eyewear Show is set to return to the West Coast this fall with a new location in Santa Monica. The event, scheduled for Oct. 24–25, will feature more than 90 eyewear collections, continuing its tradition of showcasing independent brands.

For the first time, the show will also offer accredited continuing education (CE) classes. Courses will be led by Kayla Ashlee, a certified optician and founder of Spexy, who specializes in training programs for eyecare professionals.

The weekend will open with a welcome reception on Friday, Oct. 24, followed by the main exhibition on Saturday, Oct. 25. Attendees will have access to amenities including catering, beverages, and on-site barista service.

An online appointment booking system is available to help participants schedule meetings with exhibitors in advance. Details and booking links can be found through the Loft website or partner mobile app. Organizers have also arranged discounted hotel rates at Eden Santa Monica and Hilton Santa Monica for attendees.
