In its endeavour to move ahead in spite of the pandemic that has crippled India’s economy, GJEPC India announced its first ever virtual show, IIJS Virtual show to take place in October 2020. The announcement has already created a buzz among industry circles, and a large number of exhibitors showed a keen interest in taking part in the virtual show.
The show will have dedicated 5 Halls each for Gold Jewellery, Diamond/Colour Stone Jewellery, Couture/Bridal Jewellery, Loose Diamonds/Colour Stones/Pearls, and Silver/Costume Fashion Jewellery. With the use of latest technology, the platform is seamlessly integrated with physical aspects. It has well-equipped digital architecture and ensures exhibitors can have one-to-one meetings with the buyers. Both the buyer and exhibitor experience will be enhanced with 2D and 3D Stalls, Dashboards for Buyers & Sellers, and an appealing Meeting Interface with live product profiling. GJEPC will also conduct Knowledge Seminars during the show.
All visitors to the virtual show will get free entry and they can browse through an exhibitor’s limited product listing starting seven days prior to the opening of the show. Visitors can also add products to their individual wish list and pre-schedule meetings as per the 5-day calendar of each exhibitor.
The show is expected to see the participation of approximately 500 exhibitors and 10,000 buyers through this online platform.
“A large and comprehensive virtual jewellery trade fair, IIJS Virtual will be an opportunity for our exhibitors and buyers to connect, talk business and place orders from the comfort of their offices or homes.” says Mr. Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC.
Mr. Shailesh Sangani, GJEPC Convener, Exhibitions says, “We as an industry are a die-hard breed and our comeback is always stronger than the setback. The pandemic has impacted businesses across the globe, but the Council, as always, leads the way. IIJS Virtual has been slated for October this year, which promises to replicate a life-like experience. I would like to express my gratitude to the members for their overwhelming response to IIJS Virtual. GJEPC’s new and dynamic virtual show will have features like appointment scheduler, live chats, product catalogues, meeting rooms, seminars, and more. Perhaps the pandemic has forced us to reinvent ourselves for the better.”
