It seems like everyone wants to come to AJS this fall. We love the enthusiasm, but unfortunately for the curious jewelry lovers among the general public, we’re focused on just one mission: to strengthen the jewelry industry by creating meaningful connections between exhibitors and buyers. What makes the Atlanta Jewelry Show so special is that it is one of the few trade shows in the industry run by a nonprofit. That nonprofit structure gives us the freedom to be selective in who we invite.
The Qualities of a Qualified Buyer
We’re open to retail jewelry stores and pawnbrokers who are serious about connecting with our exhibitors. Both attending and exhibiting at a trade show requires a big commitment in time and resources. Our vetting process ensures that everyone involved is here for the right reasons. It also ensures the safety of all of our guests and the security of the venue.

What’s Good for Exhibitors Is Good for Attendees
AJS is a show by and for our exhibitors: each exhibitor is a member of Southern Jewelry Travelers Association, the nonprofit organization behind the Atlanta Jewelry Show. That framework is not just beneficial to exhibitors. It also ultimately benefits our attendees.
That’s because as an attendee, you can be sure even before you register that you’ll find what you’re looking for: a show floor packed with the kinds of businesses best positioned to serve a retailer like you and a weekend full of workshops and discussions designed to benefit your business and employees.
If you’re approved to attend AJS, you know you’re not wasting your time at yet another trade show where you make no meaningful connections. AJS is about serving the industry, and admitting only qualified buyers means that we can put on the kind of show that benefits exhibitors and attendees alike.
Where the Industry Gathers to Do Business
The Atlanta Jewelry Show is free for attendees. We’re not here to sell tickets and pack out a convention center; we’re here to serve the jewelry industry by curating a worthwhile experience that connects retailers with the right suppliers. That’s why AJS is the place where the industry gathers to do business. We can’t wait to see you there!
