Europe accounts for 53%, the Middle East for 9.3%, Asia for 10.5%, Turkey for 8%, North America for 7.2%, and Latin America for 5.1%, with Africa contributing 4.9%.

2024: THE YEAR OF WORK FOR THE NEW PAVILION

The construction site will open, delivering a new layout to the Vicenza exhibition center for the September 2026 edition. The new 22,000-square-meter pavilion will replace Pavilion 2, the historic "snail" built in 1971, and Pavilion 5, providing more space for exhibitors and better navigation for visitors inside the fair. The investment is approximately 60 million euros, entirely financed by IEG.

Starting from 2025, the Jewellery Agenda of the Italian Exhibition Group will include a new international event: "The Vicenza Symposium," scheduled from September 2 to 4. Vicenza will inherit the scientific legacy of the "Santa Fe Symposium," closed in 2022. The biennial event, focused on a problem-solving approach for companies, is a collaboration between IEG and two leading companies in the T.Gold world: Legor and Xolutions.

Total media contacts exceeded 230 million gross, and professional operator views on the B2B platform The Jewellery Golden Cloud were approximately 260,000 (+30% compared to VOJ23). Vicenzaoro January has confirmed its status as an international reference point for the presence of the entire institutional and associative world, from Confindustria Federorafi, Confartigianato Orafi, Confcommercio Federpreziosi, CNA Orafi, Confimi Industria Categoria Orafa ed Argentiera to Assogemme, Assocoral, and A.F.E.M.O. – Association of Manufacturers Exporters Machinery for Goldsmithing, CIBJO – World Jewellery Confederation, MAECI, and Agenzia ICE.
