Insider Tips

JCK Las Vegas Tips for First-Timers

JCK is a trade-only event. Bring valid industry credentials (business license, resale certificate, or professional ID) for registration.
If you are a retailer or buyer, schedule meetings with your target brands and vendors in advance. The most in-demand lines book up fast.
Security is tight at JCK for obvious reasons. Expect bag checks and metal detectors at hall entrances. Leave unnecessary bags and bulky items at your hotel.
Luxury by JCK is worth visiting even if you primarily shop the main JCK floor. The high-end brands and curated displays offer inspiration and trend insight.
Wear comfortable but polished shoes. Business casual to business professional is the dress code — the jewelry industry dresses well, but you will be on your feet all day.
The JCK Talks and trend presentations are excellent. Block time in your schedule for at least one session per day.
Bring a loupe, business cards, and a notepad. You will be examining products and making notes throughout the day.
