Riding on the coattails of this year's successful fair, conference organizers have announced that they will hold a fourth Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair in the new year. The fourth ADTF is scheduled to take place on January 27 to 29, 2013.



Fair organizers intend for this upcoming year's fair to be even larger than this past year's event, expanding the number of exhibitors from 60 to 70. The Diamond Club of Antwerp will be expanding its presence and open up a new wing of its trading hall to accommodate the size increase.



ADTF organizing committee member Avi Pinchasi noted that the 2012 fair brought in diamond companies from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries, and that he hopes that this upcoming year's fair will draw in more diamond companies from the Americas and from Asia, as well.
