(PRESS RELEASE) NORWALK, CT – This October, the 2018 JIS Miami October Show and the Centurion South Beach Show will be co‐locating their events in the remodeled Miami Beach Convention Center in South Beach, FL. The co‐location – following a $620 million renovation of the venue ‐ promises easier participation of both events and more buying and selling opportunities for retailers and exhibitors alike.

The Centurion South Beach Show at JIS will occupy Hall D of the Miami Beach Convention Center while JIS will take place in Halls A, B, and C, making the co‐location a complete Four‐Hall Event within the same venue.

“We are thrilled to have Centurion South Beach join our JIS October event, as this enables the buyers at both shows to more conveniently move between the show (s), and ultimately will provide our exhibitors more value,” said Yancy Weinrich, senior vice president, Reed Jewelry Group.

Centurion President Howard Hauben echoes the excitement brought by the first Centurion and JIS co‐location partnership.

“We are excited to team up with the JIS Miami October Show this October. We have been producing Centurion South Beach Show since 2007 and our stores attending have grown from under 70 per show to more than 200 over the years. Many of our attendees love to also attend the JIS Miami October Show while in town, so a co‐location inevitably made a lot of sense for everyone. We believe the combination of these two shows offers better fine jewelry retailers throughout the U.S., Central and South America, and the Caribbean the best last‐minute, pre‐season buying opportunity anywhere.”

To find out more about the co‐location, applying to exhibit, or registering to attend the 2018 JIS Miami October Show, visit jisshow.com/October or call +1 (800) 840‐5612.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
