Qatar is preparing to host the Doha International Diamond & Gem Conference (DIDGC) from January 29 to 31, 2025, marking its debut as a major player in the global diamond and gemstone industry. The conference promises to bring together over 200 key industry figures from more than 30 countries to address pressing challenges, explore innovative strategies, and strengthen Qatar’s role in the international diamond trade.
Held at The Ned Doha, the DIDGC will feature discussions on industry-wide structural changes, shifting consumer preferences, and the evolving supply chain. Unlike traditional events, this conference aims to push boundaries by rethinking the current models and driving growth in the diamond and colored gemstone sectors.
Qatar’s strategic location and growing consumer market make it the perfect host for this game-changing event. In 2021, Qatar joined the Kimberley Process, a certification scheme aimed at preventing conflict diamonds from entering the market, and it has since worked to strengthen its involvement in the diamond trade.
Attendees will not only benefit from discussions and networking opportunities with high-profile speakers such as Bogolo Joy Kenewondo, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Vipul Shah, but also get a chance to explore Qatar’s luxurious cultural offerings, including its world-class museums and vibrant heritage.
This inaugural conference promises to reshape the future of the diamond and gemstone industry, offering a unique opportunity to engage with both global leaders and local stakeholders. Don’t miss out on what could be the most important event for the industry in 2025!
