Registration is now open for The Vicenza Symposium

The event scheduled for August 2027 is now accepting speaker applications. Here’s how to register.

The relationship between know-how and technology. This is the central theme of next year’s second edition of The Vicenza Symposium, the international scientific event dedicated to technologies and manufacturing trends in fine jewelry and fashion accessories, bringing professionals, researchers, and companies from around the world to Vicenza. The event (from August 31 to September 2, 2027) follows the one held in 2025, which involved professionals, researchers, and companies from over 15 countries. The Vicenza Symposium precedes the opening of Vicenzaoro and T.Gold, dedicated to goldsmithing machinery and the most innovative technologies applied to gold and jewelry, both organized by Italian Exhibition Group.

The Vicenza Symposium is now an international reference point for those working in the jewelry and fashion accessories industry. It is one of the few venues where companies, research centers, and young talents meet at the same table, sharing data and expertise. A concrete workplace, where technology, expertise, and the art of savoir-faire interact, making a significant contribution to defining industry standards.
Damiano Zito, President of The Vicenza Symposium

The Vicenza Symposium demonstrates what our sector can achieve when businesses, researchers, associations, and organizers work together with a shared vision. This model is based on collaboration and the ability to connect skills, technologies, and markets to strengthen the international competitiveness of the entire gold and fashion accessory supply chain, enhancing an ecosystem of excellence and innovation like the one concentrated in Vicenza.
Matteo Farsura, Global Exhibition Manager of the Jewelry & Fashion division of IEG

Vicenza is recognized worldwide for its ability to transform expertise, innovation, and tradition into excellence, as demonstrated by the international prestige of its goldsmith sector. The same spirit animates The Vicenza Symposium, the place where this evolution takes shape, bringing together technologies, expertise, and strategic vision in an ever-evolving market. It is through knowledge sharing and collaboration that Made in Italy can continue to be a global benchmark for technological excellence applied to goldsmithing and jewelry.
