JOGS Show Returns to Las Vegas for a Second Year
The trade show is moving downtown to the Expo at World Market Center.

The JOGS Las Vegas Gem & Jewelry Show is slated for May 30 - June 2, and will be held at the Expo at World Market Center in downtown Las Vegas, a different location from last year.
JOGS said the new location promises convenience and accessibility, as well as free parking.
The trade show will build upon the features introduced in its inaugural year, expanding its pavilions but bringing back the Southwestern Turquoise section, a Bali Silver Group manufacturers area, an Amber pavilion, and an Exclusive Designer’s section.
It will also offer a specialized International Gem pavilion.
This year’s show also includes a new educational offering via a collaboration between JOGS and The Maker’s Connection.
The Maker’s Connection will be hosting a series of specialized workshops and seminars designed to provide jewelry makers and designers with valuable insights and practical skills to enhance their craft.
Classes can be booked on The Maker’s Connection website.
"We are committed to continually raising the bar and delivering an exceptional experience for our attendees,” said JOGS International Exhibits founder Vitaliy Mayzenberg.
“With our move to the Expo at the World Market Center and our partnership with The Maker’s Connection, we are poised to make this year's show the best one yet."
The Expo at The World Market Center is located at 435 Grand Central Pkwy in Las Vegas.
The trade show will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 30 – June 1, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 2.
Attendees are encouraged to stay tuned for updates and additional information, which will be available online.
