CIBJO Launches 2010 CIBJO Congress Website

In preparation for the 2010 CIBJO Congress, the jewelry organization has launched a website, congress2010.cibjo.org, dedicated to the event. The site offers registration forms, a draft congress program, background material about Munich, the German jewelry industry and information about the Congress venue hotel.

CIBJO will also add a digital Congress Binder, an updated list of speakers and their biographies as well as a press kit to the site in the weeks leading up to the event.

The 2010 CIBJO Congress will be held February 19-22 at International Congress Centre (ICM) of the Messe Muenchen and will coincide with the inhorgenta 2010 fair.

"We view this as a vote of confidence in Germany's role and contribution to the international jewelry industry and trade,” said Karina Ratzlaff, president of the Federation of German Jewellery, Watches, Clocks, Silverware and Related Industries.

“As the congress coincides with inhorgenta 2010, we hope this will encourage more international delegates to come and participate and also have a chance to take part in the fair, where so many of our members will be exhibiting and proudly representing the German jewelry industry," Ratzlaff added.

Preceding the CIBJO Congress, a gemological mini conference about ruby gem stones will be held on February 19. More information about "Ruby Day" will be published on the congress website.
