The AJF will be hosted at the International Convention Centre in Sydney’s Darling Harbour on 18-19 March.
The AJF has been timed to take place prior to Mother’s Day (14 May), giving retailers the opportunity to stock the latest ranges ahead of a crucial period of trading.
Three major buying groups - Nationwide Jewellers, Independent Jewellers Collective, and Leading Edge Jewellers - will each host stands after a productive Melbourne Jewellery Expo, which was also a sell-out event. The GAA will also be at the event.
Expertise Events managing director Gary Fitz-Roy told Jeweller that the most valuable thing available at the AJF for suppliers and retailers alike would be ‘opportunity’.
"We are thrilled to see such a high level of interest in the Australian Jewellery Fair this year. We’ve been anticipating a high turnout, but didn’t expect it would sell out so quickly," Fitz-Roy said.
"We are confident that the fair will provide a valuable opportunity for retailers and sellers to discover new ranges, to build connections, and to reconnect within the industry."
Fitz-Roy explained that a new initiative had been introduced for AJF: “The fair will also feature free all-day catering, so retailers and sellers can maximise their time and enjoy a free lunch. This is just one of the ways we are working to make the fair an enjoyable and productive experience for everyone involved”.
