The 2012 Coober Pedy Gem Trade Show, specialising in rough and cut opal, will be held on the 7th and 8th April 2012. The trade show will coincide with the Opal Festival, offering visitors a vast array of entertainment options over the Easter long weekend.

The Greek Orthodox Hall will once again host the Gem Trade Show, providing a professional and air-conditioned environment for the numerous local and national exhibitors who will be able to showcase high quality opals at trade prices to international and domestic buyers.

The 2011 Gem Trade Show received considerable interest from the Chinese buyers in attendance, following interest generated after the Gem Trade Show Chairman's visit to China in 2010.

The Coober Pedy Gem Trade Show continues to strengthen its reputation as Australia's pre-eminent Opal Trade Show and to encourage more exhibitors the 2012 Exhibitor Booth prices are most affordable.

We will also be continuing the tradition of holding a welcoming dinner on the Saturday night (7th April) so that exhibitors and buyers can meet in a relaxed environment with the aim of establishing and strengthening business networks.
