Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
Rosemont, IL (Next to Chicago O'Hare Airport)
Don and Lowell are the duo behind the large Milwaukee Mineral, Fossil, Gem & Jewelry Show and we are now launching the 4-day Chicago JFAX Show with introductory booth pricing starting at $999. Before COVID shut it down, Don ran the popular JF&A Show (with which we are not affiliated in any manner) in this venue for decades. While having a similar focus, our event is supercharged with an aggressive $120,000 advertising campaign and low booth fees to attract the maximum number of vendors and customers, thus creating a regional event. A major feature is two separate B2B wholesale sections: the primary one and a secondary one reserved for only gemstone and fine jewelers, complete with a massive vault.
Also featuring art, décor, beauty, cosmetics, apparel, handbags, and more, it’s “the Milwaukee Show meets boutique retail” event. AND it takes place at the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Why Join Us?
With 50+ years of combined experience producing profitable cash & carry shows, our team knows how to drive both crowds and sales. We’re not experimenting in Chicago, we’re expanding.
Don's super power is his deep knowledge of this industry, including relationships with vendors forged over decades in this genre. Lowell's super power is advertising on a huge scale to attract the maximum possible attendees, where by using your unique combination of product, pricing, promotion, people, and presentation you will then convert into customers.
