Vicenzaoro September - The Jewellery Boutique Show at the Vicenza Expo Centre is set to take place from September 6-10.
The show is widely regarded as the most important of its kind for the European market and attracts visitors from across the continent - as well as from North America and the Asian markets.
This year the show will include VO'Clock Privé, a free-entry event open to the public dedicated to contemporary watchmaking, which runs from September 6-8.
The show organizers, the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), said this year’s show would have presentations on issues such as using artificial intelligence in jewelry design, the challenges and opportunities for the industry given geopolitical issues, how the luxury sector can further evolve, and jewelry trends for the next year and a half.
In addition, the Vicenzaoro will provide jewelry professionals with the latest product launches and discussions on industry trends.
IEG said it expects more than 1,200 exhibiting companies, including many for the first-time.
Made-in-Italy brands are expected to represent almost two-thirds of exhibitors, while the show will also welcome international exhibitors from 35 countries, including the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Hong Kong, and Thailand.
The show site has seen many renovations, with the old pyramid-shaped area of the expo centre replaced with a new Hall 2.
IEG said there will be a wide range of services to help visitors successfully and efficiently get around the venue, including detailed maps, signage, an additional entrance, a dedicated app and a help desk on-site.
