The sixth edition of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair (ADTF) is unfolding next month, beginning on February 1st at the Antwerp Diamond Bourse (Beurs voor Diamanthandel), the Diamond Club of Antwerp (Diamantclub van Antwerpen) and Antwerp's Rough Diamond Bourse (Antwerpsche Diamantkring). Organisers are expecting an attendance of hundreds of buyers who have registered for the fair, to network with over 90 of Antwerp's leading diamond firms exhibiting at the Fair. They will present diamonds in all sizes, quantities, prices and qualities.
"Advance registration will start on January 31st, at the Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel," Nicole Decombes, member of the organizing committee said. "From Sunday morning and onward, registration will continue in the lobby of the Kring, at Hoveniersstraat 2, the main street of the diamond quarter.”
A highlight of the three-day event's programme is the "Antwerp Diamond Night" offered by the AWDC on February 1st. On February 2nd, the diamond consultant and author Marijan Dundek of Graff, London, will talk about “The Magic World of Diamonds” during his breakfast meeting seminar, at the Radisson Blue Astrid. The breakfast seminar will feature Dr. Katrien De Corte, Chief Officer of Education at HRD, who will present an overview of the latest developments in diamond grading and identification. "The ADTF is the world's only by-invitation-only trade fair for diamonds," Ms. Decombes said. "We do our best to make sure that once our guests arrive, they are taken well care of, so that they can concentrate on what they come to do: business, in a warm, secure and welcoming environment!" The Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair is powered by the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC).
