In his greetings, IEG president, Lorenzo Cagnoni, referred to Italian Exhibition Group’s role as the leading Italian trade show player in terms of the number of shows organized directly and of its own property and announced that this edition of the event, which hosts the most famous international brands alongside the more recent and emerging companies, is totally sold out.

Next was managing director, Ugo Ravanelli, who proclaimed the theme of this year’s show: Sustainable Creativity, which is no longer a trend but, fortunately for our planet, the direction in which the whole sector is decidedly steering towards. “At Vicenzaoro, we will be dealing with the theme in all its aspects and throughout the production chain, in line with the vocation of our show which, also for this reason, is one-of-a-kind in Europe in regards to jewellery.”

The stage was then followed by Silvio Giovine, Vicenza’s councilor for productive activities, who spoke of a synergy between IEG and Vicenza Council aimed at the constant international development of shows within the territory. First and foremost VIOFF, now at its second edition, with a full calendar of events, outlined by the councilor, further enriched this year with a charitable aim to support reforestation on the Asiago Plateau where flooding at the end of October caused heavy damage.

“Favoring the communication of Italian jewelry identity, systematizing and strengthening training and digital activities” are, for Ivana Ciabatti, president of Confindustria Federorafi, the main challenges that the sector needs to face.

Digital evolution and including the younger generation in the world of employment were the topics raised by Carlo Ferro, neo-president of ICE. “We are recording a particular vitality in the use of the Internet as a sales channel and we are directing our efforts in this direction as well as in support for emerging start-ups within the sector that see many young and highly capable professionals investing their skills and aspirations.”

The ceremony ended with the heartfelt wishes for a successful show for all the exhibitors, traders and buyers in attendance.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
