When the JA New York Winter Show returns to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center Jan. 22-24, 2006, a special milestone means it won't just be business as usual.

In addition to providing the jewelry and watch industries with its first major jewelry show of the calendar year, JANY will be celebrating 100 years of jewelry trade shows. Already, show organizers are projecting more than 1,000 exhibitors and 9,000-plus attendees from around the world, converging on the Manhattan show to get down to the business of buying, according to a JANY release.

“This year marks the centenary for the JA New York shows, and we are thrilled to have returned year after year to New York to service the jewelry industry in such an important capacity,” said Drew Lawsky, JA New York show director. “The success of the JA New York shows is a testament to our colleagues and partners who have been incredibly supportive, and return to New York every year.”

Features of the show include the International Pavilions, showcasing product from Italy, Thailand, Turkey, Japan, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom, as well as the Inner Circle and Collection Showcase, the New Product Gallery and other targeted arenas within the show.

Notably, the show will include the Couture Pavilion once again, following its successful debut at the 2005 JA New York Winter Show. Intended to provide JA New York attendees with a couture-level, exclusive environment in which to conduct their high-end business, the pavilion will gather some of the world's finest jewelry collections.

“We are thrilled at how successful the Couture Pavilion has been since its debut at JA New York,” said VNU Expositions Jewelry Group Vice President Nancy Robey. “The Couture Pavilion truly brings an element of the Las Vegas couture experience to New York, with an upscale, elegant setting in which to conduct business. The success of the Couture Pavilion is indicative of JA New York's growth and reflects how the show continues to respond to the needs of our industry colleagues.”
