Upcoming Bangkok fair launches e-appointments

Bangkok, Thailand—Organizers of the 40th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair (BGJF), which is expected to draw some 22,000 attendees to Thailand this fall, are urging buyers and visitors to pre-register online for the Sept. 18-22 event, and to take advantage of a new online appointment feature.

Online registration for the fair is available through the show's Web site, and is designed to make the registration process more efficient so that attendees can spend more time visiting booths at the show, which spans some 100,000 square meters at Bangkok's Impact Challenger exhibition center.

This year, the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association is also urging trade visitors to capitalize on e-appointments, a new feature at the show, which allows buyers and some 1,500-plus BGJF exhibitors to share information about their needs and offerings before they sit down face-to-face to discuss business. Buyers can make e-appointments by simply registering at Bangkokgemsfair.com and then clicking on the OSP (Online Sourcing Project) icon on the right side of the Web page to fill out the necessary information.

The 40th BGJF will also spotlight design with the "Hot 2008 Vol. I," a display of more than 100 masterpiece designs from Thailand's leading jewelry houses. Many of the designs are by rising design stars in the industry, while others were inspired by myths surrounding the region's rich history in precious metals and colored gemstones.

This necklace and earrings set by Worldwide Quality Manufacturers Co. is one of the new products to be on display at the Bangkok fair.
Another major attraction at the fair will be the Yellow Sapphire Rabbit, crafted from 4 kilograms of yellow gold and 8,000 total carats of yellow sapphire, ruby and jade. The priceless piece, created as a token of loyalty and love for the Thai jewelry industry, is to be presented to Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej for his 80th birthday this December.

An associated congress to be held at the fair will provide a platform for discussion on issues central to the industry's growth.

For online registration and more information on the fair, e-mail info@bangkokgemsfair.com or visit Bangkokgemsfair.com.
