Jewelry Industry Summit Open for Registration
The forum on sustainability and responsible sourcing, scheduled for March in New York City, has started accepting registrants following the launch of its updated website.
New York--The Jewelry Industry Summit, a forum on sustainability and responsible sourcing scheduled to take place next spring, is open for registration, organizers announced this week.
The summit is scheduled to take place from March 11 to 13 at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, with an opening reception slated for the night before it starts. Members of the jewelry industry who are interested in attending can register and find more information here.
Registration is $400, but a $50 discount is available for members of a wide range of industry trade associations. Each applicable association will give members a promo code to activate the discount; prospective attendees should confirm with their organizations before registering.
The link redirects users to the website of the JA New York show, which is handling registration for the event. Those who register for the summit will receive badges for the JA New York Spring show, which also will enable them to go into MJSA Expo New York and the Lueur antique show, all three of which are taking place at the same time at the Javits Center in New York.
The purpose of the summit is to facilitate attendee discussion about responsible sourcing. The event will be an interactive, working meeting with large and small discussion groups led by professional facilitators, rather than an agenda of speakers. The goal is to align all segments of the industry, from retailers of all sizes, to designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, refiners, cutters, miners, and more.
Also attending the summit will be government representatives, non-governmental organizations, consumer and marketing experts, and affiliated service providers, such as banks and trade associations. Experts on responsible sourcing will be invited to create informative posters, which will be displayed in an area of the meeting space.
To educate participants before the summit, the planning committee also included a Resources section on the website, which includes existing legal requirements, voluntary standards, association and company practices, and other topics associated with responsible sourcing.
Sponsors of the event to date include ABN Amro bank; CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation; the JA New York Show; and the World Gold Council, but additional sponsors still are needed to underwrite other costs.
