The NAJ's Members Buying Group Visit Vicenzaoro 2024
31 Jan 2024
The 70th edition of Vicenzaoro January 2024 broke all records. There was a 3% increase in attendance over January 2023, which had already been the best-attended fair to date. 60% were International Buyers from 141 countries, with 1300 exhibitors across all product types.
The exhibition proved to be the excellent, inspiring event that all were hoping for. A number of NAJ JET Business Network members attended the exhibition through the NAJ's exclusive hosted buyer programme. This included 2 nights accommodation, transport from the airport and hotels and entrance to the buyers lounges. The trip was hosted by the NAJ's Business Development Advisor, Sarah North.
The team had a great trip, meeting new suppliers from across the globe and seeing the trends emerging in 2024. It also enabled our members to network together as well as many new introductions being made and they were guided throughout by a member of our team.
Leesha Kaur of Sonny's and JQ Diamonds shared,
"Thank you for looking after us, Sarah, and making the show a brilliant event for us to attend.It was a great opportunity to network and make friends, too. Looking forward to more time together. I would highly recommend to NAJ and future NAJ members, such a worthy benefit."
Peter Wong from Wongs Jewellers concludes,
"Attending Vicenzaoro as part of the NAJ buyers group was a great, rewarding experience. It not only allowed me to pre-book appointments with suppliers, access the buyer's lounge and attend the hosted buyers' after-party, but it also gave me the opportunity to network with my peers. Travelling to and from the show in organised transport and at the hotel over a glass of wine! It’s a must for anyone wishing to share ideas, develop their business and see the latest jewellery trends."
The NAJ has been able to secure offers from a number of International exhibitions throughout the year. We will be sharing these, so please sign up to the NAJ mailing list to stay updated.
