Industry association the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) will hold its bi-annual Presidents’ Meeting from February 23 to 25, at the Almas Tower, in Dubai.

The meeting, the first in-person WFDB meeting since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, will be attended by presidents and officials from the 29 member bourses of the WFDB.

It will be the concluding event of the Dubai Diamond Week.

The opening session of the Presidents’ Meeting, which will be held in conjunction with the International Diamond Manufacturers Association’s yearly meeting, will feature speakers from throughout the diamond world.
