A Helpful Tip to Plan Your JCK Las Vegas Itinerary
If you’re debating which booths and events to visit, here’s some advice you need to know.

Brought To You By Jewelers Mutual Insurance Group
With thousands of things to see and do at JCK Las Vegas, it can be difficult to determine which ones will be most valuable for you. Navigating your way around Mandalay Bay in an organized fashion might be even harder.
Here’s a tip to make the most out of your JCK experience: Decide which educational events you want to attend on Level 3, then work your way down to Levels 1 and 2.
For example, Jewelers Mutual Group will have workshops for a limited time in Banyan Room E (Level 3), but their booths L106 (Level 1) and LUX906 (Level 2) will be available for the entire event. These sessions in the Banyan Room offer a more in-depth interaction than a typical booth visit.
Plus, their main focus will be on growing revenue and cutting costs with Jewelers Mutual’s new programs, so you can stop by the booths afterwards and get your insurance questions answered.
This is what the sessions in Banyan Room E are about and when you can attend them:
Saturday, June 2, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Sunday, June 3, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
JM Shipping Solution™ — An easy-to-use platform that features exclusive discounts, insurance options for your packages, and much more.
Saturday, June 2, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Sunday, June 3, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Are you ready?
