Randy Greenwald – Spokane, WA

“I had a wonderful time here at the conference.  I think there was a good mix of exhibitors.  It is wonderful to be able to compare products side by side and then be able to verify what the sales people say with so many jewelers in the room with experience in their shops with those products.  It is just a wonderful opportunity to see a good mix of vendors.  Most Bench Jewelers live in our small boxes and this is a chance to get out, socialize and meet new people, find out what is happening in the industry, meet some wonderful vendors, just an all round excellent opportunity.”
Wayne Emery – Bettendorf, IA

“I enjoyed the most that jewelers can all come together and have camaraderie, the time we can be together and sit around and talk and iron out problems we may have.  It is neat to have a venue where we can get together and learn new things and share with one another and just to get together with other people who understand what we are talking about.  It is wonderful.  The classes are very informative; they are very concise and to the point and the instructors are always open to questions.”
Heath Rackley – Greenville SC
