CIBJO Congress 2013 to be held in Tel Aviv

CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation will hold its 2013 annual congress from May 7-9, 2012 in Tel Aviv, Israel. It will be hosted by the Israel Diamond Institute at the Dan Panorama Hotel.

The pre-congress meetings beginning on May 5. The agenda of the Congress will also include meetings of the CIBJO Assembly of Delegates, and as such will gather members of national jewellery and gemstone associations from more than 40 countries and representatives of many of the industry's most important commercial bodies. Also, the congress will be a forum for CIBJO's professional commissions, and will also include discussions and information on updates of the Diamond, Coloured Stones, Pearl, Precious Metals and Gemmological Blue Books.

"We are thrilled to be able to hold the CIBJO Congress in Israel, and thank the chairman and Board of Directors of the Israel Diamond Institute for their generosity in issuing this invitation," said Gaetano Cavalieri, President of CIBJO. "Israel is known primarily as one of the world's largest diamond and gemstone centres, but it also is an important jewellery manufacturer in its own right, and a hothouse for the development of much of the most sophisticated technology used in our industry today. The congress will provide our members with a fascinating insight into this exciting country.” Moti Ganz, Chairman of the Israel Diamond Institute added that hosting the Congress gathering would be “visiting a country that, as a leading diamond trading and manufacturing centre, plays an absolutely fundamental role in the life of the diamond and jewellery industries, reporting last year a net turnover of rough and polished diamonds worth close to $17 billion.”He also mentioned that as the IDI is “keen to support the dialogue and cooperation facilitated by CIBJO.”

Like in 2012, the 2013 CIBJO Congress will be preceded by the Annual Meeting of the World Diamond Council.
