Registration Deadline is Wednesday, June 22

WITH MOTHER’S DAY AND GRADUATION celebrations mostly in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take a break and look ahead. RJO offers just that, with the “50 Years Together” Buying Show on July 23-25.

We’ll call the Indiana Convention Center home for the weekend, but it also will be home to valuable educational seminars, inspiring keynotes, numerous get-togethers, as well as wonderful events together. Of course, we’ll also host a tremendous Buying Show floor, featuring the best vendors in the jewelry world, including 18 new ones!

RJO’s numerous membership benefits continue as well, including: complimentary nights at the host hotels, buying discounts via RJO Purchase Vouchers, lunch coupons, and cash giveaways.

Online Registration is now open for the Show. Simply log in to RJO's website to register, and then make your hotel reservations at our host hotel, the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, (or our overflow hotels, The Westin Indianapolis and the Omni Severin). You may also register for the show using the form in the printed Buying Show Registration Packet, which you should have received in early May.

If you’re a jeweler member, call Kristi Nelson in the RJO office at: 800-2471774 or e-mail: kristi@rjomembers.com with any questions. If you’re a vendor member, you should contact Mary Harger at: 800-247-1774 or e-mail: mary@rjomembers.com with any questions.
