GJEPC’s flagship show IIJS takes virtual leap

The new buzzword in gems and Jewellery industry is “Virtual Exhibitions”. IIJS Virtual, the digital edition of GJEPC’s flagship August show, is scheduled in October, this year. Inspite of the pandemic that has crippled India’s economy, IIJS Virtual show has already created a buzz among industry circles, with initial exhibitors’ interest exceeding expectations. Similarly GJC has announced the dates of first GJS Virtual show in second week of October 2020 , just before the upcoming festival season.

Like many industries, the jewellery industry too has been impacted due to a long list of cancelled or postponed events, shows, exhibitions, and weddings for the next few months. However, the perseverance and hard work of trade bodies has resulted in large numbers of exhibitors showing a keen interest in taking part in the virtual show. The IIJS Virtual show is expected to see the participation of approximately 500 exhibitors and 10,000 buyers through this online platform.
