Press Release: With one week to go until the opening of sixth edition of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair (ADTF), the organizers are completing the final preparations before Antwerp's diamond quarter will be welcoming hundreds of buyers who have registered for the fair. On Sunday, February 1, the doors of the Antwerp Diamond Bourse (Beurs voor Diamanthandel), the Diamond Club of Antwerp (Diamantclub van Antwerpen) and Antwerp's Rough Diamond Bourse (Antwerpsche Diamantkring) will open, offering visiting buyers access to the show booths of more than 90 of Antwerp's leading diamond firms, which will be displaying a truly dazzling choice of diamonds in all sizes, quantities, prices and qualities. "Advance registration will start on Saturday afternoon, January 31, at the Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel," said Nicole Decombes, a member of the organizing committee. "From Sunday morning and onward, registration will continue in the lobby of the Kring at Hoveniersstraat 2, the main street of the diamond quarter. This year, the visitor identification tags will also include a head and shoulder shot of the visitors," she continued. A highlight of the three-day program is the "Antwerp Diamond Night" offered by the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) on Sunday night. On Monday, February 2, the diamond consultant and author Marijan Dundek of Graff, London will talk about "The Magic World of Diamonds" during his breakfast meeting seminar at the Radisson Blue Astrid. A breakfast seminar on Tuesday morning will feature Dr. Katrien De Corte, the chief officer of education for HRD, who will present an overview of the latest developments in diamond grading and identification. As has become tradition during the fair, lunch is served in the restaurants of all three trading halls. "The ADTF is the world's only by-invitation-only trade fair for diamonds," Decombes said. "We do our best to make sure that once our guests arrive, they are taken well care of, so that they can concentrate on what they come to do: business, in a warm, secure and welcoming environment." Outside the halls, however, it will be cold as temperatures will hover around the freezing point. Invitations to the ADTF can be obtained directly from the organizers, either through referral by one of the ADTF exhibitors, or through registering on the website of the Fair at www.antwerpdiamondfair.com. The Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair is powered by the AWDC.
