When natural disaster or global pandemics strike, you may be forced to shut the doors of your business for a while or maybe adapt your business model for a crisis. Because of the novel coronavirus, many businesses experienced financial burdens that put them out of business while online shopping gave limited access to customers.

The exact timeline for a full reopening can’t be known, but as quarantine phases out slowly business are trying and planning to get back in the market. Several jewelry trade fairs were rescheduled due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and are struggling to find ways to stay in touch with exhibitors and buyers as they rapidly readjust their business models virtually. The most effective ways came to be online webinars and Instagram Live sessions.

Organizations like CIBJO – World Jewelry Confederation have conducted virtual events where they organized a series of educational, topical and insightful webinars throughout the crisis to support the industry against a backdrop of a severe global economic downturn, rising gold and silver prices and fear of new online sales taxes.

Now, trade fairs will have to re-adjust to this rapidly changing scenario by offering events that protect the safety of buyers and exhibitors and ease business. And as the quarantining gets over slowly here are some of the top upcoming Jewelry events we’ve shortlisted for you.
