Highlights
in the supporting program
INHORGENTA MUNICH is welcoming its exhibitors and trade
visitors with a revised concept. As part of this move, the supporting program,
too, has been redesigned and enhanced: The show will be the venue for the
premiere of the INHORGENTA MUNICH Future Vision Summit. Diamond expert Mark van Bockstael will be
traveling from Africa for the event and Patrik Muff
will be exhibiting his installations and latest designs. The international
trade show for jewelry and watches takes place from February 10 to 13, 2012 in Munich. "Trends
in jewelry and watches seen at INHORGENTA MUNICH 2012 will be taken out into
the wider European market," said Tobias Gröber,
Business Unit Director Consumer Goods at Messe München International. "At
the heart of the program will be the INHORGENTA MUNICH Future Vision Summit, a
forum of experts which has never been seen before in this quality and style."
International
companies and research institutions will be presenting their visions and ideas
for the future. The participants include the industrial designer Professor Fritz Frenkler from the
Technical University of Munich ("The Future of Industrial Design“), Airbus
Manager Nicolas Tschechne ("Luxury in Commercial Aviation") and
Wolfgang Müller-Pietralla, Head of Future Research and Trend Transfer at
Volkswagen AG ("Mobility 2030: An essential luxury").
Another prominent speaker at INHORGENTA MUNICH is Mark van Bockstael,
Chairman of the Technical Committee of the World Diamond Council and
one of the
leading experts in the formulation of guidelines for the Kimberley
Process, a
system designed to prevent trade in diamonds of unknown origin. Van
Bockstael has been accompanying this process since 2000. He will be
traveling to INHORGENTA MUNICH direct from Zimbabwe to report on the
current
status of developments.
Details of all the lectures, for
example on micro and macro trends in lifestyle, fashion and jewelry and on
trends and developments in the European and German watches market, can be found
