About the OJB Experience
Welcome to the 'Out of the Jewel Box' Experience.
This exclusive in-person event offers a unique alternative to the traditional trade show experience. Not intended to compete with the established shows in Tucson, this alterative concept was created to offer a select group of exhibitors and attendees a relaxed and intimate setting for networking, product showcasing, and business interactions.
Attendees are welcome to utilize the lounge area designed for networking and collaborative work.
The venue serves as a relaxed space for attendees to utilize for their own networking and meeting place or to simply kick up their feet and take a breather from the hustle and bustle that is the Tucson show experience.
Ideally situated within a 5 minute walk to and from the Tucson Convention Center, the OJB Experience is your go-to venue to shop, network, and relax.
