The Dubai Diamond Exchange, a platform of DMCC, launched a specially developed App for its biennial two-day Dubai Diamond Conference 2017 which is being held in Dubai on October 16-17, 2017.

The dedicated app, created for the event, will help delegates connect prior to the conference, keep up to date with the agenda and speakers, and allow them to schedule meetings with fellow attendees, DMCC said.

It will also enable people to follow event-related social media activity, view and share photos and message each other directly through the app. Users of the app will also be able to engage with live Q&A and participate in Polls during sessions at the conference, according to the organisers.

Peter Meeus, Chairman, Dubai Diamond Exchange, said: "We recognise that the diamond trade is a truly global marketplace spanning many time zones and geographies. We have therefore developed the DDE 2017 App to help 350+ conference delegates and speakers better connect and interact prior to and during the Dubai Diamond Conference in October”.

The Dubai Diamond Conference app is available to download on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. http://apple.co/2xMHmo3 and https://hubs.ly/H08M74t0.

A number of international leaders of the diamond industry ranging from African Ministers to traders, financiers and world-renowned jewellers, will take part in the Conference. The two day event will enable companies and governments in producing and consuming countries to build relationships and highlight the pivotal role that Dubai plays in the global diamond trade.
