JA Takes Its Learning Workshops to Washington D.C., New York
Its next event will take place in D.C. on Sept. 17 and in New York City on Oct. 29.

The one-day workshops are designed to provide independent jewelers with accessible education, along with networking opportunities.
Each event features roundtable discussions on leading industry issues and expert-led sessions on topics like trends, artificial intelligence, and how to use social media to increase sales.
The next workshop will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the Army Navy Club in Washington, D.C.
It is being held in conjunction with JA’s annual Jewelers of America Political Action Committee Fly-In, which will occur on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
For members interested in visiting Capitol Hill on their own, JA will provide information on how to set up meetings to advocate for one’s business and ways to support JA’s efforts to speak up for jewelers.
The next and final workshop will take place Oct. 29 in New York City.
It will coincide with the JA New York show that is scheduled for Oct. 27 to 29.
While the show is not owned or operated by JA, there will be a member pavilion at the show.
“We are committed to helping to connect our members not only with each other but also with educational opportunities that provide immediate actionable tools that can improve their business. The Multifaceted Learning Workshops allow us to do just that,” said David Bonaparte, JA’s president and CEO.
Those interested in the Washington, D.C. workshop can register on JA’s website. The fee is $75.
More details on the New York workshop are still to come.
