CIBJO opens Congress registration
Dedicated
congress website launched
Registration
for the 2019 congress of CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation, is now open.
Delegates and other participants may register for the congress via a dedicated
congress website located at: http://www.cibjo.org/congress2019
CIBJO's
2019 annual congress will take place in Manama, the capital of the Kingdom of
Bahrain, from November 18 to November 20, with pre-congress meetings beginning
on November 16. It is being organised by DANAT, the Bahrain Institute for
Pearls and Gemstones. The venue for the event is the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain
Bay.
The
dedicated website includes the congress programme, the various congress venues,
important travel information and background information about Bahrain, news and
photo galleries.
An online registration form for the congress is available,
and, since the CIBJO Congress 2019 will be a carbon neutral event, participants
are also requested to complete a carbon foot-printing form. A registration form
for the programme organised for accompanying persons will be added shortly.
Upon
registering, CIBJO Congress will also be able to book hotel rooms using links
provided on the dedicated website, both for the official congress hotel, the
Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, and the alternate hotel, the Wyndham Grand
Manama, which is located within walking distance from the official venue.
CIBJO
Congresses serve as the gathering place for the World Jewellery Confederation's
Assembly of Delegates, and also are the venue for the annual meetings of
CIBJO's sectoral commissions, where amendments can be introduced to the
organisation's definitive directories of international industry standards for
diamonds, coloured stones, pearls, gem labs, precious metals coral and
responsible sourcing, known as the Blue Books.
The
CIBJO Congress is also where the programme of World Jewellery Confederation
Education Foundation (WJCEF), relating to responsible and sustainable
activities in the industry, and its on-going cooperation with the United
Nations is reported upon.
