Responding to demand from around the world, the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) has decided to open the 2020 International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) to international exhibitors. This will be the first time that IDWI will welcome exhibitors from all markets.

The next IDWI, to be held from February 10 – 12, 2020, is an annual show that takes place on IDE’s immense trading floor. It features hundreds of exhibitors of polished diamonds and diamond jewelry and attracts hundreds of buyers from over 20 countries, who arrive in Israel especially for the event.

IDWI is a boutique show, exclusively for diamond traders, with minimal costs for exhibitors and incentives for eligible buyers, who receive three complimentary nights at a local hotel.

IDE President Yoram Dvash said that he welcomes the decision of the organizing committee to open up the next International Diamond Week to exhibitors from around the world. “I’m sure that IDWI will benefit from opening its doors - it is win-win for both exhibitors and buyers, from Israel and around the world. I’m looking forward to hundreds of international participants, lots of energy and lively trading.”

IDWI Chairman Ezra Boaron said “There has been a lot of interest on the part of international companies to exhibit at the show and this year we’ve decided to allow it. The diamond world thrives on trading and I believe that this step will enable the event to attract additional buyers from new markets.”
