The 42nd edition of the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair is
improvising the experience of trade events where business meetings are held in
a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The trade event is slated between 11 -15
September 2008.
This year the organizers are predicting an attendance of at
least 30,000 professionals from 80 nations. The trade expected to be generated
would be close to 10 billion baht, or over US$ 290 million. The BGJF is an
attempt to promote the gem and jewellery trade of Thailand and is a coordinated effort
of the Department of Export Promotion and the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders
Association (TGJTA).
TGJTA intends to hype the importance of the Middle East in
today's global gem and jewellery trade, for which, it has struck an association
with Dubai Multi Commodity Centre (DMCC), to set up offices for Thai operators
in Dubai and establishing sales outlets in DMCC's Gems Club later this year.
DMCC is hosting a conference at this BGJF, for the Thai industry members to
deliver an understanding of the jewel market in the Middle
East. The forum will be led by experts who address key challenges
facing the gem and jewellery industry. Focusing on providing finest facilities
and services to all visitors, the organizer has chosen the Impact Challenger to
expand this one floor one roof fair into 100,000 sq. mts.
