Rio Tinto’s Business Symposium Attracts Diamond Industry
To be held in Chicago, IL from July 16...Rio Tinto's inaugural jewelry business development symposium, to be held in Chicago, Illinois from July 16 to July 18, 2010, has attracted significant interest from diamond industry participants.
Sponsored by the Gem Certification and Assurance Laboratory (GCAL), the symposium and design showcase will bring together many of Rio Tinto's Select Diamantaires and at least ten leading North American jewelry retailers and key jewelry-buying groups.
According to Rebecca Foerster, the manager of Rio Tinto's U.S. representative office for diamond sales and marketing, "We are delighted to have GCAL sponsor this symposium, given the important role certification plays in consumer confidence in the diamond jewelry industry."
Preeminent jewelry veteran Ken Gassman will provide the keynote speech at the symposium, which is focused on building better relationships throughout the diamond distribution channel and providing a collaborative forum for understanding the key issues facing today's diamond jewelry businesses.
As the president and founder of the Jewelry Industry Research Institute, Ken focuses exclusively on the global jewelry and diamond industry, particularly at the consumer level.
The symposium will also provide the opportunity for Rio Tinto's Select Diamantaires to showcase their latest designs to top U.S. retailers and obtain important retail market feedback.
