The September Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair, otherwise
known as the September Fair, has
established itself as the largest fine jewelry tradeshow since its launch in
1983.
Organized by UBM Asia Ltd, it has received support from the
industry and jewelry traders around the world for years. Increased demand for
exhibition space led UBM Asia to expand the September Fair, thus in 2006, the fair
has been held simultaneously in two venues: the AsiaWorld-Expo and the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The dates for the upcoming tradeshow are September 13 – 17 at
the AsiaWorld-Expo and September 15 – 19 at the Hong Kong Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
Among the new elements unveiled recently is the Bridal
Jewellery Pavilion, which debuted in 2015, will be expanded for the 2016
edition. The Fair also includes the Fine Gem Pavilion, Fine Design Pavilion,
Hong Kong Premier Pavilion, International Premier Pavilion, Hong Kong Pavilion,
Designer Arena and Jadeite Gallery.
In 2015, organizers initiated a new security measure that
entails the verification of the identity of badge holders at the venue’s
entrance. Participants can expect such measure to be implemented again this
year.
The September Fair is a platform for lobbying and
agenda-setting for the industry, and for discovering the products and ideas
that excite the jewelry market. Moreover, it brings global players together for
a thoughtful dialogue. This year, the diamond auction of ALROSA, the Paspaley
Pearl Auction, several conferences and other special events will be held during
the Fair at both AWE and HKCEC.
Moreover, this mega fair will again feature the world’s
biggest Diamond Pavilion and Pearl Pavilion, and Asia’s biggest Gemstone
Pavilion.
