E V E N T S & E D U C AT I O N The industry came together to kick off jewelry week with the opening night Welcome Reception which took place at the new Skyfall Lounge at the DELANO featuring an exclusive breathtaking view of The Strip.
Networking continued and the community escaped the heat for a one-of-a-kind experience at the brand new minus5° Ice Bar during the always anticipated Late Night Lounge.
A taste of Rock N’ Roll and a truly unforgettable performance by platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson at the annual Networking Gala & Late Night Reception.
Jack Mitchell, Chairman of Mitchell Stores and author of the quintessential luxury sales tome Hug Your Customers, roused and inspired an audience of retailers as Tuesday morning’s keynote, while Thursday’s morning event featured the announcement of the highly anticipated LUXURY Retailers of the Year. The winner, in a year that focused on personal touch, went to Crocker’s Jewelers of Texarkana, TX.
