62 www.thejewelrybook.com VICENZAORO Dubai The world has a new oyster D U B A I V I N C E N Z A O R O VINCENZAORO Dubai welcomed more than 6,000 visitors at the inaugural jewelry show, April 23-26, 2015, organized and hosted by DV Global Link – a joint-venture company between Fiera di Vicenza and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). A true global contender, more than 110 countries were represented at this high-end newcomer to the international jewelry tradeshow industry. The partnership of Italy and Dubai creates a strong alliance between international money, the world of fashion and leading jewelry brands. Since taking over as President of Fiera di Vicenza in December 2013, Matteo Marzotto has successfully leveraged his family's textile legacy as well as his expertise in the business of international fashion to reinvigorate VICENZAORO, the tradeshow originally started by his great-grandfather. Among his notable accomplish- ments, Marzotto successfully ran Valentino from 2003 to 2008, salvaging the iconic fashion house at a time when it needed expert direction. His leadership at Fiera di Vicenza and its annual trade- show VINCENZAORO has led to new and exciting opportunities for the organization – this latest venture in Dubai included. An exciting array of exhibitors and buyers from around the world were chosen to attend VICENZAORO Dubai for the specifi c purpose of facilitating a strategic trade bridge to address regional demand and international supply. Slated to become one of the leading international jewelry platforms, Corrado Facco, Vice Chairman of DV Global Link and Managing Director of Fiera di Vicenza, says, "The Dubai event has the capacity to connect global suppliers with emerging customers in the Far East and Africa. We hope this fi rst edition represents the prologue of a great success story, one where DV Global Link builds its standing as a global player and VICENZAORO Dubai establishes a position as one of the world's top fi ve events for the international B2B jewellery and goldsmith sectors by 2020." Supported by critical government and trade organizations, this strategically located new "super show" has already announced it's second annual edition, VICENZAORO Dubai April 14-17, 2016.
