This year’s Midwest Jewelry Expo will be held March 17-18 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis. Organizers say the new location allows both expansion as well as more quality vendors.

The regional show is sponsored by the jewelers associations from Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota. The Expo has more than 350 booths.
