Registration for US & International Diamond Week now open

Registration for the April edition of the US & International Diamond Week in Israel is now open, according to press release by Israel Diamond Exchange e-mailed to Rough&Polished. Buyers who are interested in joining hundreds of their colleagues on the Israel Diamond Exchange's trading floor to meet and trade with around 400 Israeli diamond firms are encouraged not to postpone their registration.
Held from April 6-10, the event comes on the heels of the International Jewellery Sourcing Fair in Freiburg, Germany, and the BaselWorld fair in Basel, Switzerland. "We encourage interested buyers to register as soon as possible since many visitors to Basel and Freiburg will choose to continue to Israel for their diamond sourcing." says IDE CEO Moti Besser. "We therefore expect an unusually large number of early registrations, and we will handle them on a first-come-first-serve basis. Our partner bourse in this project, the Diamond Dealers Club of New York, is expected to bring a large delegation of members," he added.
Registered foreign buyers will again be offered heavily discounted room rates at the event's designated venue hotels within walking distance from the Ramat Gan diamond exchange complex. "The hotel accommodation near the bourse is of a high level, but limited, and this is another reason for buyers not to postpone their registration," Besser said.
