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 is 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 or 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.

Some of the key highlights of JCK Virtual include:

Advanced Searching & Discovery

  • Attendees can browse a Product Directory featuring the latest jewelry and watch collections, products, services and retail technology from thousands of JCK & Luxury exhibitors representing the most diverse collection of jewelry retail businesses from around the world in one place.

Connecting Like Never Before

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
