JIS Miami
The biannual Jewellers International Showcase trade event held in Miami Beach
JIS Miami, formally the Jewellers International Showcase, is a biannual trade event held in Miami Beach, Florida, that serves the American retail jewellery industry as a regional alternative to the larger JCK Las Vegas show. The event is held twice a year, in October and April, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with several hundred exhibitors and a regional retailer audience drawn principally from the southeastern United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
Trade Position
JIS sits in the second tier of American jewellery trade events, smaller than JCK Las Vegas and Couture but larger than most regional retailer shows. The exhibitor mix emphasises wholesale supply for independent retail jewellers, with strong showings from coloured-stone dealers, manufactured-jewellery suppliers, watch distributors, and equipment vendors. The Latin American buyer presence, particularly from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, is a distinguishing feature of the show relative to its Las Vegas counterpart.
