New York--More than 100 diamond companies from the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) will attend Israel Diamond Week (IDW), scheduled for Nov. 11 to 14 in New York.
IDE 2013 is a follow-up to the program that was assembled at the Diamond Dealers Club (DDC) in December 2012, which led to other diamond week events in the United States and international diamond weeks in Israel in March and August.
“IDW will provide members of the DDC and the IDE unique opportunities to do business and network. It will benefit members of both bourses as well as the entire industry,” said DDC President Reuven Kaufman.
In addition to the 100 companies, IDW also will include related events, such as key speakers on the state of the industry and the recognition of the achievements of notable industry leaders.
“When we meet again on the DDC NY trading floor we do so knowing that these events are good for business and that they also enhance relationships between DDC and IDE members,” IDE President Yair Sahar said.
