“What makes the WOGC particularly appealing is the effort that we make not only to present the latest original gemological research and information, but to also make sure it is done in a way that connects with our diverse audience,” said conference chair Richard Drucker in a statement.
The two-day conference will be held at the InterContinental Hotel Chicago O’Hare. Participants can sign up at the conference website.
