IAC’s Gold + Diamond Conference returns to New York City for its 15th Anniversary

Initiatives in Art and Culture (IAC) announces its 15th Annual International Gold and Diamond Conference, taking place in person from the evening of Monday, July 14 through Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in New York City. Marking its crystal anniversary, the theme “Eye on the Prize: Towards Continuing Improvement in Practice and Artistry”, serves as a continuation of IAC’s longstanding commitment to shaping responsible, inclusive, and visionary practices within the global precious metals and diamond industries.

For more than a decade, the conference has been a destination for thought leadership, bridging the commercial and cultural, prompting various sectors to consider the dual imperative of sustainable action and artistic integrity. During a moment of extraordinary industry transformation marked by geopolitical tensions, climate crises, technological advancement, and shifting consumer values, IAC renews its call for shared purpose and collective responsibility by focusing on what truly matters: safeguarding the planet, protecting human rights, and preserving the artistry and cultural traditions that define our humanity.

The Conference opens on the evening of Monday, July 14, 2025, with a welcome reception hosted by Heritage Auctions at their New York headquarters, located at 445 Park Avenue. From 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., attendees will gather for an elegant evening of connection and celebration, featuring remarks from Roberta Kramer, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Heritage.
