De Beers Sightholder Summit @ Cape Town

And that’s how WE DO IT @ “2023 De Beers Sightholder Summit at Cape Town”

HVK International spends an enlightening month-end with De Beers and Fellow industry leaders at Cape Town

Last Week, in October, CEOs from De Beers Sightholder companies came together at Cape Town for seminars and networking hosted by De Beers Group. Our Director Sunny Sakariya along with HVK Leading Team Heads: Fennil Sakariya and Jevin Sakariya spent an enriching and stimulating time learning to fun whilst working hard.

The De Beers Global Sightholder Summit hosted an eclectic range of conversations, interactions, discussions and insights which rejuvenated the Industry at the time most needed.

The unique setting of an important key summit opening at the Vergelegen Wine Estate was a refreshing way to engage the attendees, foster an atmosphere of creative stress free dialogues, and promote a relaxed yet productive atmosphere.

The industry was made to feel not just a UNIT, a Giant Global FAMILY.

The day also involved a series of authentic speeches and presentations. Opening by David Prager, Chief Brand Officer, De Beers Group; Reflections from the Past by Bruce Cleaver, Chairman De Beers Group; Welcome note and Lessons from Present by Duncan Wanblad, CEO, Anglo American and by Paul Rowley, Executive Vice President, Diamond Trading, De Beers Group; Future by Al Cook, CEO, De Beers Group; Future Economy by Andrew Busch. These industry leaders shared information on De Beers’ vision for the industry going forward. It was a series of inspiring conversations that undoubtedly lead the way for the diamond and mining industry globally.

A special mention to the climax of the Summit : The De Beers Group Marine Operations Event. This adrenalin rush experience to Journey to the Earths Majestic Treasures was exhilarating and a moment of pure awe and miracle emphasizing the beauty and wonder of a Natural Diamond.

We are proud to be a part of being a De Beers Global Sightholder and the magnanimous natural diamond industry.
