Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) announced the success of Voice, the co-hosted fair with Vicenzaoro from 12-14 September in Vicenza.
370 companies and 100 speakers including the World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) president Gaetano Cavalieri, World Diamond Council (WDC) president Edward Asscher and De Beers consumer and brands EVP Stephen Lussier participated. Over 600 business-matching meetings were hosted and 200 trade deals were made at the virtual buyers’ rooms powered by ICE Agenzia.
Interviews, seminars and talks were streamed online throughout these three days. Three out of 19 of them were arranged by CIBJO. During the CSR and sustainability in the post-COVID era seminar, panellists highlighted that consumer expectations from the jewellery industry related to responsible sourcing, ethical business principles and sustainable environmental practices will not dissipate in the post-COVID world. On the contrary, these values will be prioritized than ever.
