DMCC has announced the second edition of Dubai Diamond Week, scheduled for October 26-29, 2026, in Dubai. Organised by DMCC, Informa Markets and Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), the event will bring together representatives from government, mining, manufacturing, retail, finance and technology.
The programme will centre on the Dubai Diamond Conference (DDC), which enters its seventh edition, and Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD). The two events are positioned to combine industry dialogue with sourcing and business opportunities across the diamond and jewellery value chain.
The Dubai Diamond Conference will open Dubai Diamond Week on October 26 under the theme “Diamond 2.0: A Strategic Reset – Reigniting Desire, Unlocking New Value.” Discussions will examine long-term demand growth for natural diamond jewellery, emerging technologies and new avenues for value creation. Bilateral meetings, company showcases and guided tours of Almas Tower and the Dubai Diamond Exchange will follow on October 27.
The announcement follows DMCC's report that Dubai's diamond trade reached a record USD 41.7 billion in 2025. The city's precious stones ecosystem has grown to almost 1,400 companies through the Dubai Diamond Exchange, with the majority of Dubai's diamond trade comprising natural diamonds.
JGTD will take place from October 27-29 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre. Now in its fifth edition, the B2B exhibition will feature diamonds, coloured gemstones, finished jewellery, jewellery technology and advanced manufacturing equipment, attracting manufacturers, suppliers, traders, retailers and buyers.
Supported by DMCC as Official Partner and the Dubai Jewellery Group as Industry Partner, JGTD will serve as the commercial component of Dubai Diamond Week, complementing the strategic discussions at the Dubai Diamond Conference.
