ATLANTA JEWELRY SHOW HOSTS 2022 SOHO EXPERIENCE THIS MARCH

SJTA will once again host the jewelry industry and serve as an essential resource for education and products to empower the retail jeweler.

JANUARY 10, 2022 — Atlanta, GA — The SPRING edition of the Atlanta Jewelry Show, The SoHo Experience by AJS will be held in-person on March 5-6, 2022, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia. This live gathering will be a two-day event preceded by an entire day of reimagined education, the ConnectED Pre-Show Conference, on Friday March 4.

An attendee favorite, the SoHo Experience by AJS is the place where buyers see products from new and iconic exhibitors, experience the latest jewelry trends, get access to professional skill-enhancing sessions, and make invaluable connections with peers – all with the perfect amount of Southern Hospitality. AJS Executive Director Libby Brown stated, “After the many issues we have recently experienced, our team is committed to helping our jewelry community with ways to take lemons and make lemonade! Our attendees have come to expect unique experiences and top-notch education, and we are so excited to deliver a forward-looking show that does all that and more this March.”

AJS announces an all-new education format for Spring. On Friday, March 4th, AJS ConnectED, the education arm of AJS, will offer two new ways to participate in the pre-show education conference. Libby Brown continued, “The industry has changed at an accelerated rate, and the ConnectED conference team and our SoHo Pros are here to help you navigate. We are looking forward to providing support that recognizes and addresses the direct and essential needs of the industry while offering real-time solutions during this innovative “Squeeze the Day” two-part event.”

On Friday, March 4th, buyers are invited to the “Squeeze the Day” Sessions with the SoHo Pros. Introduced in 2020, The SoHo Pros will return for their third event to share advice and the latest action items for jewelers to immediately implement in their stores. A free networking event designed to help jewelers overcome struggles and adapt to the times, expert SoHo Pro trainers will guide attendees through the latest trends in selling, marketing, social media, e-commerce, and more.

AJS Education Director Cindy Chandler said, “We are thrilled to offer this new way of learning to our attendees. The SoHo pros have an excellent program planned, with a focus on making lemonade out of lemons by sharing how they have personally thrived during these uncertain times. Through real-life examples and the exchanging of ideas, retailers will learn new recipes for success to add the zest back into their business!” Space is limited.
