HONG KONG, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The highly anticipated list of Recipients of the JNA Awards 2020 will be revealed to a global audience, in a virtual awards ceremony, to celebrate excellence in the jewellery and gemstone industry, on the first day of Jewellery & Gem Digital World (J&G Digital World), at 8pm (Hong Kong time) on 27 October.
This year, the JNA Awards celebration will span weeks instead of being limited to one evening. A series of webinars and events featuring Honourees and Sponsor Partners, who are the movers and shakers of the global trade, will be held starting from September, culminating with sessions during J&G Digital World‘s live days. The virtual event is scheduled for 27 – 29 October.

The webinars will form part of the Jewellery & Gem Knowledge Community (J&G Knowledge Community) programme, which is a key feature of Informa Markets Jewellery.
