World Diamond Congress 2026 to be heldin Singapore, July 12-15, 2026
The next World Diamond Congress, a joint assembly of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), will be held July 12-15, 2026, at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre.
“We are excited to hold this pivotal industry gathering once again in Singapore,” Fabio Cascapera, President of the Diamond Exchange of Singapore (DES), and Chairman of the WDC 2026 Organising Committee, said. “Since the 1988 World Diamond Congress held in Singapore 37 years ago, our industry has gone through a myriad of developments and transformations, but one thing has not changed: diamonds remain one of the top luxury products desired and cherished by consumers of all cultural backgrounds and ages,” he stated.
“During the past few decades, the pan-Asian consumer markets have blossomed, making diamonds, coloured gemstones, and gem-set jewellery highly desired by the middle classes. The growing demand for luxury emerged not only in China and India, but also in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines,” said Suresh Hathiramani, a former DES President and Organising Committee member.
“Of course, we specifically anticipate welcoming our colleagues from the African continent, where most gem diamonds are mined, and exploring the synergies between the African and Asian diamond industry and trade. We intend to make the upcoming Congress an exciting and fruitful platform where we all can learn about new opportunities and foster new business ties,” he added.
