They will come face-to-face with more than 350 Israeli diamond firms which will exhibit their diamond stocks in the IDE's trading hall.
The upcoming edition of the Diamond Week IDW will see more than 120 American and Belgium firms taking part in the event.
The IDE will also be hosting GIA President and CEO Susan Jacques, as well as Matteo Marzotto and Corrado Facco, president and general manager, respectively, of the Fiera Di Vicenza, Italy
On September 2, the exchange will honor Susan Jacques in recognition of her service to the diamond, gem and jewelry industry and trade, while the visit of the Fiera Di Vicenza officials will serve to advance the cooperation between the prestigious Italian gem and jewelry trade show organizer and the IDE.
"Registration for the International Diamond Week continues to grow," said IDE President Shmuel Schnitzer. "We currently have more than 300 buyers registered and registration numbers continue to increase."
He added that during the IDE's two week summer holiday period - August 11-25 - the IDW organizing committee's core team members will continue to process buyers' registration and hotel room booking requests. "All applicants will receive our usual 'VIP service'," Schnitzer stated.
As in previous editions of the International Diamond Week, qualified and confirmed buyers will be offered up to four free hotel nights in the designated venue hotels. "We have booked rooms at several hotels close to the Ramat Gan diamond exchange complex," said Moti Besser, the IDE's general manager. "They will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, and therefore, we urge interested buyers to register quickly and not to wait."
