VICENZAORO SEPTEMBER, SOLD OUT ONCE AGAIN, LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
From September 6 to 10, Vicenzaoro September returns, the leading event in Europe dedicated to the jewellery world, which has once again sold out.
Matteo Farsura, Global Exhibition Manager Jewellery&Fashion at Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), announces: "This September edition will be the first to use the three temporary halls, built to replace the spaces of pavilions 2 and 5, now demolished, and while waiting for the new 22,000 square meter pavilion designed by the Gmp studio in Hamburg. Keeping to the schedule will reward the joint effort of all IEG stakeholders, with a clear strategic vision placing Vicenzaoro among the top global events." Alongside Vicenzaoro September, from September 6 to 8, VO’Clock Privé will also take place, accessible to contemporary watch enthusiasts.
VICENZAORO, AN INTERNATIONAL BOUTIQUE SHOW: THE NEW LAYOUT, LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The three temporary halls of Vicenzaoro September 2024 will maintain the size and structure of the layout, ensuring an excellent buying experience for buyers. There will be 1,200 exhibiting brands from 35 countries, with 40% of the offer coming from abroad, including Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Germany, Thailand, and Belgium.
Made in Italy will be represented by the districts of Vicenza, Arezzo, Valenza, and Campania, and by the product and service excellence that will be the focus of business matching in the incoming program supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the ICE Agency. Goldsmith producers (Community Creation) will be housed in the temporary pavilion 4a, next to pavilion 4. Semi-finished products and jewelry, previously in pavilions 2 and 5, will be hosted in the temporary 7a, connected to pavilion 7; packaging companies of “Expression” will be in the temporary hall 10 with an independent entrance linked to pavilions 1 and 3. Pavilion 3.2 will open with 300 square meters largely dedicated to “lab-grown” diamonds. On-the-spot sales will take place at Palakiss. The best international goldsmiths and loose gems will be in the usual pavilions 3.1 and 3. Meanwhile, in pavilion 1, b2b operators will complete their showcase with contemporary watches from the “Time” community.
VO’CLOCK PRIVÉ, SYNCHRONIZED HANDS ON ICONS AND CULTURE
VO’Clock Privé (open to enthusiasts, collectors, and aficionados of iconic timepieces) will be held in the foyer (8.1), where major brands will preview new collections. Key figures from the watchmaking world will lead a series of technical and historical seminars to promote watch culture.
