JIS Changes Dates of January Jewelry Trade Show
It will move back to Jan. 19 to 21 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Norwalk, Conn.—JIS has announced a date change for its first jewelry trade show of 2019.
The JIS January show, originally slated for Jan. 12 to 14, is now being held one week later—Jan. 19 to 21.
The January show usually takes place during the third week of the month, timed to allow buyers the chance to restock inventory after the holidays.
Show organizers said it had to be moved up due to renovation work at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Now, they’ve announced the renovation is no longer an issue, so they are moving the dates back to the usual pattern, which was widely requested by vendors and buyers.
For more information on attending or exhibiting the show, visit JISshow.com or call 800-840-5612.
JIS has three Florida-based jewelry trade shows during the year—held in January, April and October—and expanded in 2016 to include JIS Exchange during Las Vegas jewelry week. They are all operated by Reed Exhibitions.
