Conferencia Joyería Rapaport Trade Fair 2009

JCK Las Vegas Jewelry Show – Monday, June 1st, 2009

Abril 28, 2009, Las Vegas –

The annual Rapaport Fair Trade Jewelry Conference will be held Monday, Junio 1, 2009 at the JCK Las Vegas Jewelry Show. Registration is free and open to all.

The annual Rapaport Fair Trade Jewelry Conference presents an opportunity for members of the jewelry trade, development NGO’s and government agencies to participate in open discussions and learn how they can participate in the development of Fair Trade Jewelry. Hear from members of the jewelry industry who are manufacturing and selling Fair Trade / Development jewelry; the NGO’s working to establish definitions and guidelines for Fair Trade; and representatives of African development communities.

“Fair Trade Jewelry offers an unprecedented opportunity for the jewelry industry to play a vital role in the sustainable economic development of impoverished and disadvantaged sectors of the jewelry trade. We can and must make a difference in the lives of millions of artisanal diggers who mine our precious metals and gems yet live in abject poverty,” said Martin Rapaport, Chairman of the Rapaport Group.
