Sponsored by Jewelers of America, the 2004 Jewelers Executive Conference convened in March in Overland Park, Kan., attended by nearly 200 jewelry store owners and operators from the state associations of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska-South Dakota, and Oklahoma. The two-day event featured a sponsor’s showcase and was highlighted by seminars that that included “Promotional Ideas that Work,” “Developing Your Brand Identity,” “Dated Inventory,” and “Digital Imaging.”

The conference is unique in providing jewelry store executives with the opportunity to come together and discuss common issues with fellow jewelers and explore ways to improve their businesses. The Jewelers Executive Conference will convene again in 2006.
