New exhibition centre Expo Piemonte in Valenza

Inaugurated on October 2008 with the international exhibition Valenza Gioielli/Istinto Prezioso, the new Exhibition Centre has been designed and built by Expo Piemonte Spa, a joint venture with important public - among which Piedmont Region through Finpiemonte Partecipazioni Spa - and private (see fact sheet for details) participations.
Valenza Expo Events, AOV and the DIVALENZA Brand Consortium offices are located at the Exhibition Centre.
The Exhibition Centre features elegant architectonic lines, an exclusive selection of materials and a functional organization of the surface, with congress and service areas separated from those designed for exhibition purposes.
The Exhibition Centre is located at the centre of Turin-Milan-Genoa triangle. As a result of its multi-purpose vocation that does not limit its scope to the jewellery industry, in 2010 the new location of the international exhibition Valenza Gioielli will accommodate new exhibition events.
