Israel To Host First Full-Scale Intl. Diamond Week Since Covid

The Israel Diamond Exchange is organising its first full week of diamond-related events in three years in 2023. The Israel International Diamond Week is scheduled from 27th to 30th March, 2023, and will include a professional conference, an international exhibition and the World Diamond Congress.

The first Israel Diamond Conference on 27th March, 2023 will bring together the senior leaders of the global diamond industry. The conference will be opened by the President of the State of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog, and other senior government officials will appear throughout the day. There will be a banking and finance panel featuring the heads of the main industry banks, as well as a rough diamond panel including industry executives and government officials from important mining countries. A lecture by Martin Rapaport on the state of the global diamond industry will wrap up the conference. Attendance at the conference is open to all diamantaires, but the number of places is limited.

The conference will be followed by the Israel International Diamond Exhibition, from 28th to 30th March, 2023, which will offer a huge variety of goods by hundreds of Israeli and international exhibitors. As in past years, organisers will provide three free hotel nights to the hundreds of diamond buyers expected from all over the world.

The World Diamond Congress, the major event of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses, which is held every three years, will take place on 28-30 March, 2023.

Boaz Moldawsky, President, Israel Diamond Exchange, said: “After a three-year break caused by the pandemic, we are thrilled to once again invite the global diamond community to Israel. We are planning an exciting series of events that is set to be one of the industry’s most important occasions this year. Join us for top-level discussions, great networking and excellent business opportunities. Register now to ensure your place.”
