Some 70 exhibitors are scheduled to take part in the fourth edition of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair (ADTF), IDEX Online reports. To accommodate the increase in exhibitors (60 took part in this year’s show) the Diamond Club of Antwerp will open up a wing of its trading hall not used at previous editions of the fair.
Show organizers also say that there will be an increase in the number of buyers and buyers groups – among them visitors from the U.S. Asia and the Middle East – at the fair.
ADTF organizing committee member Avi Pinchasi said the growth in the number of exhibitors allows ADTF to invite a larger number of selected diamond buyers, jewelry manufacturers, retailers and designers.
The fourth edition of the invitation-only ADTF will take place from January 27-29, 2013 at the Antwerp Diamond Bourse and the Diamond Club of Antwerp.
