The World Federation of Diamond Bourses and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) are pleased to announce that the dates have been agreed for the World Diamond Congress which will take place in Hong Kong.
The Congress will commence on Monday morning, 2 November and end on Thursday, 5 November 2020 with a closing lunch.
More details, including registration, will be released as they become available.
“We are very pleased that we have been able to close the dates for the World Diamond Congress which takes place every two years,” said WFDB President Ernie Blom and IDMA President Ronnie VanderLinden in a joint statement.
“We have not held the Congress in Hong Kong for a number of years, so I am delighted that we will be returning to this exciting and vibrant city which is also the gateway to the vitally important Chinese market,” said Blom. “I would like to thank Lawrence Ma, President of the Hong Kong Diamond Bourse, for the invitation to host the WFDB and IDMA. I am sure they will do a fantastic job in hosting us all.
“I would ask members of our organizations, as well participants from other areas of the diamond industry, to please make a note of these important dates as the World Diamond Congress is a very important event where sensitive industry topics are debated with global input and decisions made,” Blom added.
VanderLinden joined Blom in calling on IDMA officials to attend the World Diamond Congress. “The midstream of the diamond pipeline is under the greatest pressure that it has experienced for many years. It is vital that we have a full attendance, with members from across the world, to discuss this challenge and how we go forward.”
