Despite 13 weeks of protests and occasional violent confrontations with police, the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair will be held as scheduled, September 16 to 22 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exposition Centre and the AsiaWorld-Expo
Despite ongoing protests and occasional violent confrontations with police, there was never any talk of postponing the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, according to the trade show’s top official in an exclusive interview Thursday.
“Exhibitors are hesitant, calling us from all over the world asking what we are doing to try to resolve their issues,” he said. “Right now exhibitors are coming.” More than 54,000 buyers attended the 2018 fair, despite being closed for a day for the first time in its 36-year history because of super typhoon Mangkhut, considered to be the world’s most powerful storm of the year.

But it’s not because of the political situation, he said.The main registration area on opening day during the 2018 September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem FairTo bring more buyers to the fair, the organizers have developed two aggressive initiatives. The first is a telemarketing campaign with the goal of contacting 50,000 buyers throughout the world.
