Follwoing the 2011 IDMA's Presidents' Meeting in Gaborone, Botswana, the next 2013 President’s Meeting has also been decided to be held in a diamond producing nation, this time in Toronto, Canada, annoucned IDMA President Moti Ganz. Reiterating the advantages of ‘a dimaond producing nation’ as a venue Ganz said, "Diamond manufacturers need to have a full understanding of where the diamonds they purchase and process are mined. Presidents' meetings are perfect opportunities not only to discuss the particular issues and problems that concern our segment of the supply pipeline, but also to get to know the countries, mines, mining locations, governmental institutions and companies that are involved.”

He expressed gratitude to Bhushan Vora, president of the Canadian Diamond Manufacturers Association (CDMA), and to CDMA CEO Pierre LeBlanc, to invite IDMA for its Presidents' Meeting in Canada.

Mr. Vora said, "Canada is the third-largest producer of gem diamonds by value in the world. Its vast cratonic archon provides outstanding potential for long term diamond production. The Diamond Bourse of Canada, launched in 2010, established the last missing link of the diamond pipeline in Canada. Canada now encompasses all the industry segments from exploration to a thriving consumer market”.
