JCK has announced the introduction of its new concept event, LUXURY one2one, to take place on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015, at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, Ariz. The event, which precedes JCK’s annual Tucson show starting Feb. 2, is a hosted buyer summit that offers elite jewelry retailers an opportunity to meet with new solution providers to discuss their individual business needs.

“This one-day format creates a highly productive and dynamic experience unlike any other jewelry-industry event,” said JCK Events group president Yancy Weinrich. “It focuses on solving business challenges and fulfilling needs in a highly personalized and curated environment. This format is similar to speed networking and encompasses 11 30-minute meetings and networking events throughout the day in a breathtaking resort setting.”

The invitation-only, face-to-face networking event is set to bring together 25 solution providers and 50-prequalified domestic and international retail stores, to be matched according to the products or services that fit their needs. LUXURY one2one will commence with an evening keynote on Saturday, Jan. 31, followed by an introductory meet-and-greet reception. The full-day summit on Feb. 1 will see a series of 30-minute peer-to-peer meetings and will close with a Super Bowl viewing party that evening.
