The 35th World Diamond Congress (WDC), the joint biennial meeting of the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) and the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB), will be held in Mumbai, India, from October 14 to 17. The event is being organised and hosted by the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) and the Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Earlier this week, the organising committee launched a dedicated congress website that will be “a complete one-point access to all relevant information about the event.” The website can be accessed at www.diamondcongress2012.com<\/span><\/a>, and providesdetailed information on the event’s schedule<\/a> and programme, participating organisations<\/a>, the hosts, information about registration<\/a>, the venue hotel<\/a> and room booking<\/a>, social tours and post-congress optional programmes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
IDMA President Moti Ganz said India was the right place for this year’s WDC due to the major role it plays in the global diamond and jewellery industries. “India is one of the leading manufacturing powers in the diamond and diamond jewellery industry and trade. At the same time, as our industry is going through some very challenging times, both in the rough and polished diamond market, it is also among the first to be affected by those challenges. Mumbai is therefore the correct place to discuss the state of our industry and to reach a consensus on how to propel our industry forward and increase its market share in the luxury consumer product market,” he said.<\/div>\n
