The opportunity to produce the annual 2011 Conclave Fashion Show of the American Gem Society (AGS), has been granted to Jewelry Information Center(JIC) — the consumer education arm of Jewelers of America and the leading fashion authority in the jewelry and watch industry. The event is slated for April 27 - 30, 2011 at The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco. Helena Krodel, director of media and special events, Jewelers of America said, “Since 1946, JIC has been known as the fashion and trends authority for the fine jewelry and watch industry; we can think of no better platform to publicize the hottest jewelry than at the highly-regarded AGS Conclave.” %% “The annual Fashion Show is Conclave’s premier networking event with the best retailers in the country,” said Ruth Batson, executive director and CEO of The American Gem Society. “People mingle throughout the evening, watching the fashion show, viewing the jewelry in the supplier showcases, and networking”, she added. %% Suppliers participating in the fashion show will not only have unprecedented access to the AGS retailers during the evening reception, but during the course of the entire education-packed four day Conclave. Additionally, there will be an added incentive for fashion show participants: JA will offer a special benefits package at a reduced rate for those who elect to join JA.
