Located at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, Florida, the show will take place Oct. 6-9.
“JIS Fall promises a vibrant showcase of what’s hot in the world of jewelry,” said the organization.
The show will include more than 600 domestic and international exhibitors organized into pavilions with networking events each day.
The Fine Jewelry pavilion is the largest section at JIS, showcasing pieces from established and up-and-coming designers.
The Plumb Club pavilion will focus on suppliers in the jewelry, diamond, and watch industries, while the Silver and Fashion pavilion will highlight trendy silver collections.
There will also be the Galleria Pavilion, which JIS said will provide a premium buying environment, as well as a pavilion dedicated to lab-grown jewelry and another for showcasing equipment, technology and services.
The Hong Kong, Italy, and Türkiye pavilions will be back this year, along with two new additions—the Greece pavilion and the Accessories and Gifts pavilion.
During JIS, there will be a happy hour each day at the Galleria Lounge for attendees and exhibitors to network, as well as daily pavilion pop-up networking events, which will be open to attendees and suppliers in their respective pavilions.
JIS will also host a networking event for new exhibitors and an after-hours event, “Cocktails and Connections.”
