Since 2009 the World Pearl Forum has become a key event on the annual calendar where leading companies and individuals involved in the pearl sector share market information and insight. Hosted under the patronage of Her Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, we were proud to host the largest global gathering of pearl experts in 2009.
