VICENZAORO SEPTEMBER 2026 Almost All Sold Out
From 4th To 8th September, IEG Will Be Giving The Gold and Jewellery Industry A New Home: The Vicenza Expo Centre Will Be 23,000 Square Metres Larger
The 2026 edition of Vicenzaoro September is almost all sold out with just over three months still to go to the start. The international Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) event, to be held in Vicenza (Italy) from 4th to 8th September, will have three strong points confirming its status as a core event in the gold and jewellery market’s global panorama. Firstly, the new Hall 2 will be fully operational; secondly, the T.Gold exhibition for supply chain technologies will be held inside the IEG Expo Centre grounds; and lastly the centenary congress of CIBJO, the International Jewellery Confederation which has chosen Vicenza for this historic 100th anniversary.
THE NEW CENTRAL HALL DESIGNED BY STUDIO GMP
Vicenzaoro September will mark a highly significant transition for the international gold and jewellery system. In 2024, IEG announced the redevelopment of the Vicenza Expo Centre as «the gold and jewellery industry’s new home». With the new Hall 2 in operation, the Expo Centre will have made a decisive infrastructural advancement following four smoothly-managed transition editions during which all product communities continued to exhibit and visitor numbers grew constantly at both the September and January shows. The expansion works began in December 2024 with the laying of the foundation stone for the new central hall, designed by Hamburg-based studio GMP, with a total surface area of a further 23,000 square metres on two floors, in order to provide Expo Centre visitors with a better “navigation” experience between the various exhibition areas and the halls where brands will be able to display and communicate their creations to the market in the best possible way. A distinctive trait that makes Vicenzaoro The International Jewellery Boutique Show.
WELCOME TO T.GOLD, THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN INSIDE THE EXPO CENTRE
Starting from next September, Vicenzaoro will be able to present the entire jewellery supply chain inside the Expo Centre grounds, including T.Gold, which will be set up in Hall 4 . Machinery and technologies for the gold industry, previously exhibited only during the January edition in external Hall 9, will thus complete Vicenzaoro’s offer, making it even more integrated. From finished or semi-finished products to production solutions, technological innovation and business services. The platform will be more compact, more functional and of higher quality thanks to the distinctive and unique characteristic of the IEG show: displaying machinery in operation.
CIBJO, THE PAST AND FUTURE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN VICENZA
Confirmation of Vicenzaoro’s international standing comes from the International Jewellery Confederation, CIBJO, which has chosen to hold its 100th Congress during the next September edition, from 4 to 7 September. This prestigious decision represents an authoritative recognition not only of the event’s central role in the global jewellery calendar, but also of the historical, manufacturing, and cultural significance of the city of Vicenza as a jewellery capital.

With the International Jewellery Fair in Sydney set to take place from 22–24 August 2026, organisers Expertise Events have announced an extensive education programme aimed at helping jewellery retailers strengthen their businesses and stay ahead of industry developments.
The three-day fair will feature 12 expert presentations, covering everything from AI and digital tools to gemstone education, diamond detection, business security, insurance and consumer trends.
The programme will open on Saturday, 22 August, with Vikas Sodhani of Unbridaled exploring how AI tools can boost sales and streamline daily operations. The day will also feature sessions on Australian opals, Colombian emeralds, jewellery business security and insurance.
Gemstone specialists Alyssa Cameron and Mateo Patino of GemstoneX will offer practical insights into Colombian emerald quality, treatments, origin and certification.

The Gemmological Association of Australia (GAA) will address one of the industry’s most relevant areas—the distinction between natural, treated and synthetic materials, including natural and lab-created diamonds.

The final day, Monday, 24 August, will open with Mustafa Ali of Fog Bandit ANZ, who will focus on proactive approaches to jewellery business security and loss prevention.
