International leaders from mining, luxury, government, and design will convene in New York City, July 13–15

Hosted at The Cosmopolitan Club in New York City, with an opening reception at Heritage Auctions, this year’s conference theme is Resilience, which examines how the jewellery industry can adapt and thrive amid global uncertainty. In discussing the conference, Lisa Koenigsberg, President and Founder of Initiatives in Art and Culture, observed: “This July, the United States marks the sesquicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a propitious moment.

And yet, the state of the country and of the world is one of systemic upheaval, and that is true of the jewellery, precious metals, and gemstones sector. Resilience is clearly the quality most necessary to navigate and right the ship during such tumult. We are honoured to welcome an international roster of authoritative experts from refineries to heritage houses, individual makers to miners to consider building resilience for an unpredictable future, and to pursue a vision that sees greatness within rather than as something lost to be regained.”
