Chart Your Course

For three days: August 27-29, 2006, you will be inspired, challenged, amazed, and intrigued.

At Symposium 2006, you have the opportunity to forge your own path. Choose what you want to do, see, and hear. From presentations and speakers to field trips and gala dinners – your experience will be all your own.

The program includes an impressive list of speakers and panelists, as well as a full agenda of exciting and engaging sessions. Panels will explore important topics from a wide range of perspectives, with key industry figures weighing in. Debate rooms will invite audience members to confront their issues – and each other – on some of the industry’s most controversial topics. Plus, there’s the GIA Gemological Research Conference August 26-27, and a bigger than before Poster Session will be a literal marketplace of ideas and exhibits.

And because no industry grows without looking beyond itself, distinguished business leaders from outside the trade will take the podium to discuss the marketing trends, economic forecasts, and technologies that will affect every attendee in the years ahead.
