The 2018 World Diamond Congress, the biannual meeting of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv from June 19 to 21. The announcement was made by the WFDB earlier this week and quoted by Diamond World.
The Congress, organized by the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE), the Israel Diamond Institute (IDI) and the Israel Diamond Manufacturers Association (IsDMA), will open with a cocktail event on June 19. On June 20, the Congress will officially open “with a senior Israeli figure due to attend”. The Congress will also feature a “partner’s programme featuring visits to interesting spots across the country”.
IDE President Yoram Dvash said: “We are looking forward to again creating a wonderful setting for the WFDB and IDMA to hold its meetings in an exquisite setting. We hope that participants and guests will take the opportunity to visit the many beautiful areas that Israel has to offer after attending fruitful meetings at the Congress”.
WFDB President Ernie Blom said: “On behalf of the WFDB, I would like to thank the Israeli diamond industry for offering to host the Congress. This is a great undertaking, and I am fully confident that it will be hugely successful as was each of the previous gatherings in Tel Aviv”.
