Atlanta Jewelry Show 2027Savannah booth costs, dates and deadlines: exhibitor guide

The spring show, the Savannah Edition, opens with RetailFusion education on Saturday, April 3, 2027, and the show floor runs Sunday and Monday, April 4–5. AJS Fall 2027 returns to Atlanta August 28–30, with RetailFusion on August 28 and the floor open August 29–30.

AJS is taking its spring show on the road for the first time, and Savannah is the inaugural destination edition of the spring show, per AJS. It runs April 3–5, 2027 at the Savannah Convention Center on Hutchinson Island, with new evening events such as an Icebreaker Riverboat Cruise; the fall show returns home to Atlanta in August.

Spring 2027 fills the Savannah Convention Center, which faces downtown Savannah from Hutchinson Island. The fall show returns to its Atlanta home; the fall 2026 edition used the Cobb Convention Center, with events at the Renaissance Waverly hotel next door.

AJS published its 2026 fall packages for new exhibitors per 10×10: General $3,245 inline and $3,640 corner, Premium $3,545, Premium Plus $3,745 and Gallery $4,045 inline. Returning exhibitors get their own pricing. For your own display, Purple's 2026 planning range for a 10×20 rental with lit cases is $7,500 to $15,000.

Under the 2026 packages: 8 ft white tension fabric on a white frame, tuxedo carpet, one cleaning before opening, a wastebasket, a 48 by 12 inch sign, 24-hour vault security, Wi-Fi, print and online listings and three exhibitor badges. Electrical is not included.

Eight feet, for every booth type, under the 2026 guidelines. Islands, typically 20×20 or larger, must stay open on all four sides with clear sightlines, and perimeter islands may have one full wall on the non-aisle side. Ceiling banners are sold only through the Exhibitor Marketing Package.

AJS welcomes custom booths, but the layout diagram and renderings must reach show management for approval 45 days before the show opens, and structures cannot be mixed between Shepard and your contractor. We prepare the submission and arrange the frame removal with Shepard.

Exhibitors from the previous show keep their prior location unless they request a change; space then goes to new companies first come, first served, prioritized by space requested and length of SJTA membership. A 50% deposit secures the booth and the balance is due 45 days before set-up.

AJS is a trade-only show. New retailers qualify with at least two invoices from known industry suppliers showing $10,000 or more of wholesale jewelry purchases in the past year, and AJS uses JBT to help vet applicants. Kids must be registered, and FutureFusion offers education for ages 7 to 17.

Fine jewelry and bridal manufacturers, diamond and gold suppliers, watch brands, and the tools, insurance, software and state associations independent jewelers rely on. The August 2026 list ran from Stuller and Quality Gold to Bulova, Citizen, Gesswein and the Gemological Institute of America.

RetailFusion fills Saturday, April 3 with retail education, BenchFusion runs on the floor April 4–5 for bench jewelers, and GIA Grading Labs run March 31 to April 4. For 2027 AJS centers its programs on what customers value along their buying journey.

AJS holds a room block at the Hilton Garden Inn Savannah Historic District for April 2–6, 2027, at $204 on weeknights and $324 on Friday and Saturday. The hotel is in the historic district across the river, so staff reach Hutchinson Island by car over the bridge or on the free Savannah Belles Ferry.

Exhibitors may set early-bird appointments by submitting a request form for each buyer, and security lets them in at the scheduled time. Early-bird buyers must stay in your booth or be escorted back to the lobby until the show officially opens.

For suppliers whose customers are Southeastern independents, it is their association's own show. AJS says it reaches over 13,000 retail buyers through targeted digital campaigns, vets every new buyer, and offers a Welcome Atlanta program that rewards exhibitors who refer new or lapsed retailers.
