AGTA GemFair Las Vegas Will Be at the JCK Show for the Next 3 Years
The organization has extended its partnership with the show through 2025.
Dallas—The American Gem Trade Association will keep its GemFair Las Vegas event at the JCK show for a few more years at least.
According to a press release from AGTA, the two have reached an agreement to extend their partnership through 2025.
AGTA GemFair Las Vegas will be located on the show’s main floor, next to the Luxury show and the Plumb Club pavilion at the Venetian Expo, as it was this year.
“We have been working with JCK over the past few months to bring all our members back under the GemFair umbrella starting in 2023,” said AGTA President Kimberly Collins.
“We want to thank Sarin Bachmann, Group Vice President of RX Jewelry Group and the entire JCK team, for working with us to develop a contract that allows us to do that.”
AGTA GemFair Las Vegas has been a part of the JCK show off and on for years, returning again in 2022 after parting ways in 2019.
Collins added: “We’ve been in several locations in Las Vegas, with JCK and without. We’ve learned that being an anchor at the JCK show is the right fit for AGTA members and allows us to provide a unique shopping experience for JCK buyers.”
The 2023 event will feature loose colored gemstone and cultured pearl dealers, colored gemstone jewelry designers, and, for the first time, a Fine Gems pavilion.
