OVERVIEW
This 3-day technology and design extravaganza running October 3-5 features numerous Classes for jewelry designers, networking opportunities, sharing of techniques and ideas with other users, the Matrix Design Contest with major prizes, a gala awards dinner, and plenty of social activities with attendees from around the world! We even provide a special “Click Room” during the event where attendees can find exhibitors, provided tables and chairs, and provided power for laptops so users can gather and share techniques and ideas. There’s no other event like this in the entire jewelry industry. It’s all about jewelry designers getting more value out of technology and more productivity out of themselves!
