October 17, 11
(IDEX Online News) – INSTORE magazine announced a new trade show, The SMART Jewelry Show Dallas, to be held on September 8 - 10, 2012 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Convention Center. Educational conferences begin on September 7.
"The Southwest has been without a major show for over four years, yet this area has over 30 million people within a 450 mile radius," said Dan Kisch, publisher of INSTORE and INDESIGN magazines on the reason for forming a new show. "The SMART Jewelry Show Dallas will fulfill the needs of the retailers who serve this large population."
"The SMART Jewelry Show model in Chicago has been well received by the industry," said Show Director Jim Reed. "With our on-the-floor conference sessions and ample networking opportunities, we've found a good balance between the needs of both buyers and sellers. We're excited to bring our blueprint to the retailers of the Southwest and help them improve their store's performance at a crucial time of year."
The SMART Jewelry Show Dallas is held in conjunction with the Select Jewelry Show, effectively creating a "Dallas Jewelry Market Week," SMART said in a release. Both groups are working together to maximize the value for jewelry retailers in the Southwest.
Show organizers say that with the holidays right around the corner, “September is perfect for retailers looking to bolster their inventory.”
The SMART Jewelry Show Chicago takes place in April.
