Matteo Farsura, global exhibition manager of the jewellery & fashion division at Italian Exhibition Group (IEG). Vicenza Expo Centre will be open to 1,200 exhibiting brands from 30 countries for international business. VO’s September appointment will respond to the demand for new ideas and previews of style and design for the coming year with the new The Jewellery Trendbook 2027+ produced by IEG/Vicenzaoro’s independent Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting Observatory.

 The event will also invite the many jewellery and watch enthusiasts and collectors to an unprecedented second edition in 2025 of VO Vintage, a show within a show, at which to dream and buy. At the Expo, the main trade associations, from Confindustria Federorafi to Club degli Orafi, Assogemme and Confcommercio Federpreziosi, will be presenting their economic monitors to give operators a precise map of international markets. While in the Palakiss area, retailers will be able to directly buy jewellery to populate their shop windows. Lastly, the city will be participating in the calendar of events of ViOff, the Vicenzaoro off-show in collaboration with the Municipality of Vicenza.
Italian Exhibition Group interprets market trends with new brands and by adapting VO’s exhibition offer to the entire jewellery supply chain: from the luxury brands in Icon to jewellery manufacture, components and semi-finished products in Creation, through to packaging in Expression. Central to the European and Italian market is the Look community segment: accessible or mid-range luxury jewellery by the trendiest brands. A segment that already accounted for 38% of the global market in 2023 (source: Market Research Future) and that, according to international analysts, could reach between 30% and 70% of a brand’s turnover (source: Financial Times). A strategic product bracket for retailers to stock up for the winter festivities, for which VO also provides a specific showcase for the emerging brands on show in the Glamroom.

Another community in the spotlight at VO is Essence, which groups together diamond, precious stone and other gem exhibitors. IEG combines exhibitors who market them with the technologies of gemmologists, analysis laboratories and the sophistication of master cutters in an authentic supply chain within a supply chain.
Time is the b2b community generated in 2022 that hosts contemporary watchmaking and accessory proposals. An ever-growing sector that is integrating into the VO business square targeted on national and international distributors. More than 40 brands will showcase at the show in September

Work is continuing at the “zero impact” building site for the new 22,000 square metre hall designed by Hamburg-based Studio GMP at the centre of IEG’s Vicenza Expo Centre. Vicenzaoro September 2025 will mark the halfway point of the time schedule that will lead to the operational delivery of the new building in time for the September 2026 edition. The construction site is invisible since the new and optimized internal navigation between halls and temporary extensions in tensile structures makes a ring around the Vicenza venue’s redevelopment work.
