All Your Questions: Answered


1: The Essentials

Our company specializes in consulting, product development, and customer support. We tailor our services to fit the unique needs of businesses across various sectors, helping them grow and succeed in a competitive market.

To ensure you have everything you need for a successful show, please click on the tabs below to access important information from our official show providers. You’ll find essential details, ordering links, and deadlines that will help you prepare for and maximize your exhibition experience.

Please Read the Following Carefully:

  • How long does it take for your company to appear on the show provider list? Once you have submitted the AJS Exhibit Space Request Form, it takes 2-3 days for your company name to be added to the show provider's systems which may cause a slight delay in placing orders.

  • Ready to Place Orders, But Still Waiting for a Booth Assignment? We will place you on the floor plan as soon as all returning exhibitors have confirmed their booth space. You will be notified and then will be able to place your orders in ExhibitorPro.

  • Booth Assignment Changes?  AJS will notify all show providers of any booth assignment changes.

  • Exhibitors May Hand-Carry & Install/Dismantle Booth Displays & Lights. That's right! You may bring your own booth furnishings, lights, and even install and dismantle on your own.

Security

  • We STRONGLY recommend using armored car services to ship your merchandise into and out of the show. 
  • We STRONGLY discourage sales reps from working their way to or from the show.  

The Atlanta Jewelry Show does not work with 3rd party companies.  Beware of email solicitations in reference to:

  • Hotels
  • Attendee lists
  • Transportation Companies

We work hard to provide a valuable show experience for our exhibitors by ensuring qualified buyers attend. To learn more about our AJS Attendee Qualifications, please visit our Buyer Attendee Guidelines page.

About us

The Atlanta Jewelry Show was founded on a simple but powerful idea ... 
A trade show should serve the people who make it possible. 

From its earliest days, the Southern Jewelry Travelers Association, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, set out to create a show where every decision would contribute to the shared success of jewelers, manufacturers, and sales professionals across the Southeast. It was built not as a commercial enterprise, but as a community investment in the future of the jewelry industry.
