Mumbai, India—Because of its success the first time around, India's Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) is planning another conference to bring Indian companies and U.S. retailers together.

The second Indo-U.S. Jewelry Business Relationship Development Conference is scheduled for Sept. 8-13 at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Mumbai.

Invitations to this event will be sent out in early March by Stamford, Conn.-based R and B Partners LLC, the company GJEPC has tapped once again to help organize the conference.

The first two days of the conference will consist of a series of speakers and group discussions addressing topics of interest to both U.S. retailers and Indian jewelry manufacturers.

In addition, the conference will include a series of "speed dates," where retailers and the 20 leading Indian manufacturers will have a half-hour to talk shop and decide if they can do business together.

At the end of the conference's second day, GJEPC will pair up conference attendees for two days of two-hour meetings at their selected factories.

Following the factory tours, conference attendees can either stay on in Mumbai to do business, or travel to Agra to tour the Taj Mahal.

"We are pleased to present the second, expanded-format Indo/U.S. Jewelry Business Relationship Development Conference," GJEPC Chairman Sanjay Kothari said in a statement. "We saw first-hand last year that before you can do business together, you must first agree to do business together. That is tough to accomplish in the usual trade show booth. This conference is unique in that it provides us a forum to raise and discuss issues of concern and to seek positive solutions in a pro-business environment."
