New York—The upcoming JA New York spring show is bringing the Diamond District to the Javits Center.
The show is introducing the “47th Street Experience,” an immersive look into the best of the Diamond District.
The experience will include several pavilions, lounges, and on-site activations.
Key industry players will be attending and sponsoring the 47th Street Experience, including De Beers Group, Rio Diamond, Premier Gem Corp., the Indian Diamond and Colored Stone Association, the Diamond Dealers Club, the Diamond Manufacturers & Importers Association of America, and the Gemological Institute of America.
Diamond manufacturers Diamex and Shivani Gems also will return to the show, as well as the Jewelers Vigilance Committee and Women’s Jewelry Association.
“We are thrilled to create an environment that celebrates the fundamentals of our industry,” said JA New York Group Show Director Matthew Tratner. “In establishing an extension of 47th Street underneath the storied roof of the Javits Center both attendees and exhibitors of our event can meet and foster relationships with influential decision-makers and industry thought leaders that can serve to bolster the strength of their businesses.
“We want to have that feeling here on our show floor that you get when you walk that block between Fifth and Sixth Avenue, that feeling that business is transacting all around you and you want to be a part of that.”
