LAS VEGAS — JCK RX attracted more than 17,300 attendees and more than 1,900 exhibitors to The Venetian and Venetian Expo from May 31 to June 3, 2024. The show, which won the Grand Prix for Largest Trade Show of 2022 from Trade Show Executive at the 2023 Gold 100 Awards & Summit, added new features to delight attendees and ensure safety.
This year’s edition, themed “Love,” featured a JCK Chapel with an Elvis impersonator, a “Puppy Love” lounge with newborn puppies and a Lock Love fence sponsored by Stuller. The annual JCK Rocks celebration at Tao Beach featured a performance by Grammy winner Flo Rida.
“This year, JCK exceeded all expectations. Even in times of uncertainty in the jewelry industry, JCK once again proves that it is the place where the entire industry comes together to source products, unveil new technologies and strategies, learn, discuss, network and place orders,” said Sarin Bachmann, Vice President of RX’s Jewelry Portfolio Group and Head of Events for JCK.

JCK also added new security measures this year, including badge scanning validation and weapon detection.
“We used cutting-edge technology that truly raised the bar in creating a safe space for our attendees and exhibitors to conduct their business. JCK did this in a way that did not slow down entry and the feedback from attendees and exhibitors was extremely appreciated,” added Bachmann.
A new Sustainability Summit was also launched, which included a keynote address and panel discussion moderated by Harvard business administration professor Dennis Campbell.
“We believe in fostering a community of leaders and innovators dedicated to sustainability to contribute to collective progress and accountability. We also recognize that consumers increasingly value ethical and sustainable products. By helping our exhibitors and attendees understand and implement these values, we help them meet market demands and ensure the long-term success of their businesses,” said Bachmann.
One year after winning its Gold 100 Grand Prix, JCK will return as a recipient of the 2024 Gold 100 Awards & Summit, which will take place September 17-19 at the Ritz Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara.
JCK will return to The Venetian Expo and The Venetian from June 6-9, 2025.
