Atlanta Jewelry Show Publishes Education Agenda in Conjunction with Sold Out Fall Trade Show
8/9/2021
ATLANTA, GEORGIA - The Atlanta Jewelry Show is excited to announce the lineup for its pre-show educational sessions, ConnectED Conference, held on Friday, October 22 in conjunction with the fall trade show on October 23-24. Along with a full day of learning, AJS is also proud to host GIA as they return to Atlanta to present their Diamond Grading Lab Class. Independent retailers are invited to discover new brands and products and meet new people, as well as solidify relationships with their suppliers. The Atlanta Jewelry Show is the trusted one- stop resource to place orders, implement new business practices learned, and strengthen industry connections. Executive Director Libby Brown stated, “The countdown has begun to another legendary AJS event experience. We are honored to be able to continue to support our dynamic community by providing two full days of focused buying and networking, just in time for the holidays. The education for this show in particular is noteworthy enough, but add that to the GIA Diamond Grading Lab Class, and we’ve got an extraordinary event that jewelers really can’t afford to miss.” Brown continued, “As predicted, we will host another sold out show floor, including many brand new exhibitors, which means more new and exciting products for our retail buyers to explore. We are counting the days until we meet again to FALL FOR ATLANTA.” ConnectED Conference: Friday, October 22 Thought leaders and strategists come together at the ConnectED Conference to deliver practical learning, inspiration and insight through the free program. Stanley Zale, Guy Pineda and Bill Warren are among the confirmed speakers. AJS Education Director Cindy Chandler said, “Our focus for this meeting is on the direct and immediate needs of our independent jewelers during these evolving times. At the heart of AJS is an incredible community of brands, retailers, decision makers, designers and key stakeholders that gather to do business and have important conversations that influence our future. We intend to provide solutions that not only can immediately be implemented, but are also easy to implement,” Chandler continued.
