In September, the gold, jewellery and watch community’s most eagerly awaited event
Vicenzaoro returns from September 8th to 12th, Europe's leading business hub and showcase for the entire industry, together with VO'Clock Privè, the lounge dedicated to watchmaking culture.
Vicenzaoro September is a stage for the best expressions of the sector and the entire gold and jewellery supply chain as well as a showcase for Made in Italy production from the main national manufacturing districts and international excellences.
The variety of the offer is expressed through the industry’s different souls: from high-end jewellery brands in the “Icon” community to the best jewellery production, components and semi-finished products in the “Creation” district; from the diamonds, precious and coloured stones in “Essence” to the contemporary jewellery in the “Look” district, the latest innovative solutions for packaging and visual merchandising in the “Expression” community and the most advanced technologies for production and processing in the “Evolution” area.
All eyes will be on the world of watchmaking at Vicenzaoro: after its debut in January 2023, the “Time” community, integrating the event's product range with an area dedicated to contemporary watches, will be further consolidated. Amid the latest market offers and technical and design innovations, the B2B focus will be on independent brands and micro-brands with considerable potential that want to expand their presence in jewellery store windows. The event will extend further to the timepiece supply chain with some of the best component and accessory producers, from packaging to straps and “private label” manufacturers.
On the other hand, VO'Clock Privé, the elegant lounge dedicated to watchmaking culture, will be open to the public from 8th to 10th September. In a reserved area in the foyer on the first floor of the Expo Centre, it will gather together for its second edition the most sought-after brands and a public of enthusiasts and collectors, offering a programme of meetings and technical courses with the sector’s most authoritative experts.
A business hub for the sector, but also a privileged observatory of the latest trends in style and design, Vicenzaoro September will be presenting a world preview of the new edition of The Jewellery Trendbook. The guide, produced by Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, IEG's independent observatory on the world of jewellery, investigates emerging phenomena, the social panorama and the global evolution of jewellery consumption in order to develop the sector's business in the near future.
Not only trends but also new ideas, best-practices and educational debates on the hottest topics of the moment will be the focus of an eagerly awaited and stimulating schedule of talks, seminars and workshops, making Vicenzaoro September a veritable industry think tank with the contribution of experts, opinion leaders and trendsetters. A moment of encounter and inspiration for the international jewellery community.
Vicenzaoro is also culture, art, food and wine. An all-round experience for visitors and buyers arriving from all every corner of the world who, thanks to the dedicated services that IEG provides, can experience business as well as the Vicenza area and the Land of Venice to the fullest. From the Luxury Hub – “VO Approved” hotels with special agreements and convenient connections to the show, to shuttles to and from the airports and desks for easily booking transfers, restaurants and hotels.
Networking will be made easier at the end of the day in the square outside the Expo Centre with the Aperitivo by Vicenzaoro, the ViOff events organised within the City to welcome international buyers and the Jewellery Museum with its fascinating journey through Italian jewellery.
