JCK Virtual 2020 is Now Open for Registration

NORWALK, CT (July 21, 2020) – JCK Virtual, planned to be the largest and most unified virtual trade event for the global jewelry and watch industry in 2020, has opened registration at virtual.jckonline.com. Attendance is free to qualified jewelry buyers and professionals, who can enjoy a program of virtual networking, appointments, expert insight and product discovery.

JCK Virtual is an opportunity to experience the best of the JCK Las Vegas and Luxury shows, virtually. It brings the most diverse mix of jewelry and watch suppliers and products from around the world to connect with qualified buyers and professionals looking to discover what’s new, next and innovative for their businesses from the comfort of their home or office.

JCK Virtual will take place Tuesday, August 11 – Friday, August 14, 2020, for qualified jewelry industry registered attendees. The week kicks off with The Luxury Experience on Monday, August 10, 2020, open by invitation only to Luxury qualified jewelers. The daily program will run from 10 am.\ EST – 6 pm EST. To be flexible for the global industry, the platform is open 24/7 during the show week to browse product, schedule and hold appointments.

The platform and program are designed to meet the needs of jewelers, bringing many aspects of the trade show experience to them at work and at home. Only JCK Virtual gives jewelry professionals access to chat, meet via video, receive customized recommendations and attend JCK Talks education all in one place. Registered attendees and exhibitors can build their personal agendas around their schedule at home or work with opportunities throughout each day to learn, browse, meet and merchandise from JCK Neighborhoods. Each exhibitor has a virtual showroom to showcase their products and services, tell their brand story via images and video and host in-platform video appointments.

While attendees can’t buy directly through the platform, they can search directories, organized by both exhibitors and products, as well as request meetings to see what’s new with existing vendors, learn more about new vendors and have opportunities to merchandise directly with all vendors in time for the holidays. Directories can be filtered by company, product category and show neighborhood.

A robust JCK Talks education program, featuring multiple keynotes and four days of expert-led sessions, will provide insight jewelry professionals need to strategize for an uncharted year ahead.

“JCK Virtual is the unmissable virtual jewelry and watch event of the year to reconnect with peers and accelerate your business and networking. This is a year of transition, and when we couldn’t hold our Las Vegas shows, JCK Events was focused on providing a platform that gave our international jewelry community a unified week to meet and safely reconnect, reset and network. While it can’t replace in-person connections, JCK Virtual’s immersive technology has benefits of being ‘open’ 24 hours a day to browse jewelry and retail products and services, offering real-time lead generation to our exhibitors, and the convenience of being viewed on a laptop or phone at home or the office,” says Sarin Bachmann, Group Vice President, Reed Jewelry Group.  

Each attendee and exhibitor will receive their own personal dashboards to stay organized with appointments, schedule meetings through the in-platform video conferencing and utilize messaging and chat features.
