Reed Jewelry Group plans to hold JCK Las Vegas, set for June 2-5, and Luxury, opening May 31, as scheduled.
“At this time of global concern, Reed Exhibitions and Reed Jewelry Group are closely monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 virus,” Sarin Bachmann, group vice president, JCK & Luxury, said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to everyone impacted. The jewelry industry is a tightknit community, and the well-being of everyone at our JCK Events — from our attendees and exhibitors to our staff on-site at every show — is of the utmost importance to us.”
Bachmann said JCK Las Vegas and Luxury are “following the latest guidance from local, state and national authorities as it relates to travel and participation in our events with the intention of keeping our exhibitors and attendees informed as they finalize plans for 2020.”
“We are committed to implementing up to date best practices in accordance with public health guidance, including those issued by the CDC,” she said. “We are working closely with the Sands Expo and the Venetian, who have indicated that their Emergency Management team is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak at the global, U.S., and local level. They are closely following the guidance of the CDC and Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) for local direction.
“The jewelry industry is based on personal connections — and many rely on the important business relationships made during JCK Las Vegas and Luxury, one of the most anticipated annual jewelry buying experiences. We will continue to be proactive and take necessary precautions to facilitate an environment for the entire jewelry community to unite, make meaningful new connections and discover new products and technology.
“We will keep you up to date as we get closer to the show, and you can monitor our website for up-to-date information. The safety of our exhibitors, attendees and staff is our #1 priority.”
