Registering for the Shows:
Although most people think of Tucson as a single event, it's actually made up of many different gem, jewelry, bead, mineral, and fossil shows, and each show is organized by a different company. While the Jewelry Show Guide can help you plan for the trip, we do not handle registration for either exhibitors or buyers.
TO EXHIBIT:
Please contact show promoters individually.
FOR BUYER REGISTRATION:
Most of the shows in Tucson are open to the public and sell to both wholesale and retail buyers. However, some shows are only open to wholesale buyers and require credentials in order to enter. Registration for these shows can usually be done before or at the shows, but needs to be done separately with each show promoter. The following shows require wholesale buyer credentials to enter: American Gem Trade Association; Gem & Lapidary Dealers Association; GJX Gem & Jewelry Show; Worldwide Gem & Jewelry Show, Gem & Lapidary Wholesalers at the Holiday Inn/Holidome, the Rodeway Inn (Quality Inn), and at the Gem Mall; AKS Gem Shows at the Howard Johnson; the Jewelry, Gem & Mineral Exposition at Michigan Street and Simpson Street; J.O.G.S. International Exhibits; The Madagascar Minerals Gem Show; the Tucson Southwest Jewelry, Gem, and Bead Show; and the 1820 Oracle Wholesale Show. These show promoters require one or more of the following buyer credentials upon entering: resale license, tax certificate, JBT number, business card, and/or photo I.D.
Shows that are open to the public and do not require buyer credentials are noted on the map above with red markers. (Click on any marker to get more information.)
If you are a show promoter and would like to provide us with more specific information on how to register for your show, please contact the Editorial Department. | |
