24 Karat Club Gears Up For Annual Grand Banquet, January 10 In New York

New York, NY—The 24 Karat Club of the City of New York is gearing up for its 113th Annual Banquet. Set for Saturday, January 10, 2015 at the landmark Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, the banquet—with its formal traditions and big-name entertainment—caps off a weekend filled with important meetings, celebrations, and a gathering of the top leaders and VIPs in the fine jewelry industry. It’s a time-honored favorite event in the industry.

While the Club traditionally keeps the name entertainment secret until the night of the event, members of Banquet planning committee promise attendees will be dazzled. Then, following the grand banquet, the festivities continue with a high-energy Midnight Bash dance party at the Waldorf and, new this year, a special jazz lounge for members who want to continue the evening in a more relaxing manner.

Room blocks are available at the Waldorf-Astoria and adjacent Waldorf Towers, and at the nearby W New York Hotel, 541 Lexington Avenue.
