CIBJO Congress Date, CIBJO Congress Schedule, CIBJO Congress Location, CIBJO 2024: The World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) is preparing for its significant 2024 annual congress in Shanghai, China, scheduled from November 2 to November 4. Pre-congress meetings will convene on October 31 and November 1.
Set against the backdrop of Shanghai’s vibrant New Bund International Business District in Pudong, this year’s congress will take place at the esteemed Shangri-La Qiantan convention centre, proudly hosted by the Donghao Lansheng Group and the China Gems & Jade Exchange.
These congresses are pivotal gatherings for the World Jewellery Confederation’s Assembly of Delegates and its sectoral commissions, facilitating discussions and revisions to the organization’s globally recognized industry standards, the Blue Books.
Moreover, the congress serves as a platform to present updates on the World Jewellery Confederation Education Foundation (WJCEF) programs and collaborations with the United Nations and its development initiatives.
Shanghai, with its bustling population of 25 million, serves as the gateway to the world’s largest jewelry market, valued at $141 billion in 2023. Positioned as China’s hub for industrial, commercial, and financial activities, Shanghai is well-suited to host this momentous event, underscoring the jewelry industry’s evolution and global impact.
CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri Said “Significantly, this is the first CIBJO Congress to be taking place on the Chinese mainland, and it promises to be a spectacular event, which will not only underscore the development and growth of the jewellery industry in this country and region of the world, but the way in which it is impacting on the business worldwide, and is changing the way that all of us consider, design, manufacture and sell our products.It will be a most important congress, taking place at what clearly is a transformative time in our history. I hope that as many delegates as possible will be able to join us in Shanghai.
