JCK - The Day Before
May 31, 03
As exhibitors and attendees began to arrive in Vegas for the JCK Show, all eyes (and cell phones) were turned towards London to hear who was in and who was out as Sightholders.
In the suites of Luxury JCK, companies exhibiting in the exclusive high-end, pre-show seemed very busy as retailers stood in line in doorways for one on one presentations from top-end designers and jewelry manufacturers.
While the amount of exhibitors at the this year's JCK Show is comparable to last year, already attendees are expected to break records. "We're 'maxed out," stated a satisfied JCK Show Vice-president, Dave Bonaparte. All this before the Show has even kicked-off.
Across the street at the Mirage Hotel, the GLDA Show came to a close today. "We've had an incredible three days," reported GLDA Show management. Although, the GLDA show may be a much smaller showing than the JCK event in the Sands Expo Center, it generally serves as an indicator of attendees and strength of orders expected for the five-day JCK Fair. If this holds firm for this year, JCK is in for a highly productive and successful five days.
