A glittering success in a historic setting
Handelsbeurs Antwerp welcomed the prestigious seminar FACETS 2024, organised by the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC). The event brought together leading experts from the diamond sector in a setting that perfectly reflected Antwerp’s rich past and modern ambition.
More than 500 participants from all over the world took part in panel discussions, workshops and networking sessions. The seminar was characterised by a unique set-up with an elegant stage, comfortable seats to follow the presentations and soft decorative colours. Which made for a very intimate and interactive atmosphere.
During a two-hour break, the exhibition hall was completely transformed into the evening setting for the gala dinner. Under the glass roof, guests enjoyed a culinary experience while having the opportunity to network in a stylish environment.
FACETS 2024 highlighted Antwerp’s importance as a diamond city and reinforced the Handelsbeurs’s reputation as a top venue for international events. The combination of historical grandeur and cutting-edge content was praised by participants as unique and inspiring. For the Handelsbeurs, this event confirms its mission to be a place where heritage, trade, innovation and connection come together. FACETS 2024 has set the bar high for future collaborations with both local and international organisations.
