IDMA 40th Congress
The 40th Congress of the International Diamond Manufacturers Association
will take place at The Tel-Aviv Carlton Hotel
March 28 – 30, 2023

Why IDMA and WFDB are holding the 40th “Congress” separately

During the past 68 years, the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA) and its sister organization, the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB), have jointly organized and held their biennial World Diamond Congresses.

This year, disappointingly, during the preparations for the 40th edition of the congress, IDMA was unable to overcome one final obstacle put in our path despite much effort and compromise. Ultimately, despite IDMA’s repeated efforts to continue discussions in hopes of bridging the divide – that reason and unity would prevail – the WFDB pulled the plug unilaterally, and decided to go it alone.

There is no shortage of critical issues facing our industry. IDMA will be tackling the challenges before us during our sessions. No doubt, WFDB will be doing the same. We wish the industry success in our endeavors.
